Sushi Bowl


Here’s a recipe for a Sushi Bowl, a deconstructed version of sushi that’s easy to make and packed with all the flavors of a traditional sushi roll.

Sushi Bowl Recipe

Ingredients

For the Base:

2 cups sushi rice (or short-grain rice)

2 tablespoons rice vinegar

1 tablespoon sugar

1/2 teaspoon salt

For the Toppings (customizable):

200g (7 oz) sashimi-grade salmon or tuna, diced (or cooked shrimp, crab, or tofu for a vegetarian option)

1 avocado, sliced or diced

1 cucumber, sliced into matchsticks

1 medium carrot, julienned

1 sheet nori (seaweed), cut into thin strips

2 tablespoons pickled ginger

1/4 cup edamame, cooked and shelled

2 tablespoons sesame seeds (white or black)

For the Sauce:

2 tablespoons soy sauce

1 tablespoon sesame oil

1 teaspoon rice vinegar

1 teaspoon sriracha (optional, for spice)

1/2 teaspoon honey or sugar

Optional Garnishes:

Green onions, sliced

Furikake seasoning

Instructions

1. Cook the Rice:

Rinse the rice under cold water until the water runs clear. Cook according to package instructions (in a rice cooker or on the stovetop).

While the rice is still warm, mix rice vinegar, sugar, and salt in a small bowl until dissolved. Gently fold this mixture into the rice. Let it cool to room temperature.

2. Prepare the Sauce:

In a small bowl, whisk together soy sauce, sesame oil, rice vinegar, sriracha, and honey. Set aside.

3. Assemble the Bowl:

Divide the sushi rice into bowls.

Arrange toppings (sashimi, avocado, cucumber, carrot, edamame, nori, and pickled ginger) over the rice in sections or mixed, as desired.

4. Drizzle and Garnish:

Drizzle the prepared sauce over the bowl. Sprinkle with sesame seeds, green onions, and furikake seasoning if using.

5. Serve:

Serve immediately with chopsticks and additional soy sauce or wasabi on the side.

Tips for Success

Sashimi-Grade Fish: Ensure you use sashimi-grade fish if using raw seafood. Alternatively, cook your protein (grilled salmon or shrimp works well).

Vegetarian Option: Swap fish for marinated tofu or tempeh.

Meal Prep: Prep the toppings in advance and assemble bowls just before serving.

Add Crunch: Include tempura flakes or crispy fried onions for added texture.
