Ingredients
Scale
- 1 1/2 cups sushi rice
- 2 cups water
- 1/4 cup rice vinegar
- 2 tablespoons sugar
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 pound cooked shrimp, imitation crab, or sashimi-grade salmon, diced
- 1 cucumber, thinly sliced or julienned
- 2 carrots, julienned
- 1 avocado, diced
- 4 sheets nori, cut into strips
- 1/4 cup mayonnaise
- 2 tablespoons sriracha (adjust to taste)
- 1 tablespoon soy sauce
- Sesame seeds for garnish
- Green onions, chopped, for garnish
Instructions
- Rinse the sushi rice under cold water until the water runs clear.
- Combine the rinsed rice and water in a medium saucepan. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 15 minutes, or until all water is absorbed. Remove from heat and let stand, covered, for 10 minutes.
- In a small bowl, whisk together the rice vinegar, sugar, and salt until the sugar and salt dissolve.
- Transfer the cooked rice to a large bowl. Pour the vinegar mixture over the rice and gently fold it in with a rice paddle or spoon until well combined and glossy.
- In another small bowl, mix the mayonnaise, sriracha, and soy sauce to make the spicy mayo.
- To assemble the bowls, divide the seasoned sushi rice among four bowls.
- Arrange your chosen protein (shrimp, crab, or salmon), cucumber, carrots, avocado, and nori strips over the rice.
- Drizzle generously with spicy mayo.
- Garnish with sesame seeds and chopped green onions. Serve immediately.
Notes
- For extra flavor, you can marinate your protein in a little soy sauce and sesame oil before adding it to the bowl.
- Feel free to customize with your favorite sushi toppings like edamame, pickled ginger, or masago.
- Leftover rice can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days.
