Imitation crab salad "recipe"

Here are some guidelines for making the crab salad in today's rainbow handroll bento (the crab salad being the only thing I really made, in contrast to prepared raw ingredients):

Amounts are approximate, for 8 (1/3-1/2 cup) servings (good for handroll in bento)

-About 12 ounces of imitation crab pieces, flaked
-2-3 scallions, finely sliced
-About 1-2 teaspoons ginger root, minced
-Rice vinegar, to taste (several splashes)
-salt and black pepper to taste
-Toasted sesame seeds, to taste
-Sesame oil, to taste (a few drizzles; you don't want it to be too oily).

Mix everything together and chill. It's mayonnaise-free, and therefore good for bento.
