Sushi and Crab Rangoon Mukbang

Pro tips

• Deep-fried sushi rolls require the oil to be at the correct temperature (typically 350-375°F) to crisp the exterior without burning the nori or overheating the filling.
• Crab rangoon should be fried until golden brown and crispy on all sides; they crisp up further as they cool, so remove them slightly before they look done.
• Spicy kani salad benefits from chilling ingredients before mixing so the mayo-based dressing doesn't separate in warm conditions.
