Origin of the recipe
This crab roll combines elements of modern cuisine with traditional lavash-making techniques, popular in Middle Eastern and Caucasian cuisines. Using lavash as a base for the rolls creates a light and filling dish that's easy to prepare. Unlike classic versions, this one features seafood and fresh vegetables for a delicate texture and rich flavor.

Cooking tips
Use fresh crab sticks for rich flavor and texture.
Before boiling eggs, add a pinch of salt to the water to prevent the shells from bursting.
Chill eggs in ice water after boiling to make them easier to peel.
Slice the cucumber thinly to prevent it from releasing too much juice and making the roll soggy.
Before frying, preheat the pan to prevent the lavash from sticking and to ensure it browns evenly.
Serve the rolls immediately after cooking to preserve the crispy crust and juicy filling.
