My family loves this recipe! It is very easy to make, and is great hot or cold. I use fresh, lightly steamed broccoli instead of frozen. I also use surimi (imitation crab meat, also called Krab). I also use 1 TBL butter and 2 TBL olive oil because I think it is healthier and tastes great. I would highly recommend this simple recipe.
