Ingredients

1 ½ cups water, or more to taste
1 cup jasmine rice
1 (8 ounce) package imitation crabmeat
1 ½ cups mayonnaise
½ cup diced red bell pepper
½ cup chopped cashews
½ cup peas
3 tablespoons sesame oil
1 tablespoon curry powder
2 stalks green onion, thinly sliced
1 medium lemon, juiced
salt and ground black pepper to taste

Steps:

Bring 1 1/2 cups water to a boil in a saucepan. Stir in rice, cover, and reduce heat to low. Simmer until rice is tender and water has been absorbed, about 15 minutes, adding a few more tablespoons water if needed.
Transfer rice to a bowl. Stir in imitation crab, mayonnaise, bell pepper, cashews, peas, sesame oil, curry powder, green onion, and lemon juice until combined. Season with salt and pepper. Refrigerate for 3 hours before serving.
