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.
