  • Author: Martha
  • Total Time: 30 min.

Ingredients

Scale

For the Sushi Rice:

  • 1 ½ cups sushi rice
  • 2 cups water
  • 2 tablespoons rice vinegar
  • 1 tablespoon sugar
  • ½ teaspoon salt

For the Toppings:

  • 1 cup imitation crab, shredded
  • 1 avocado, diced
  • ½ cucumber, diced
  • 1 sheet nori, cut into small strips
  • 1 tablespoon sesame seeds
  • 2 green onions, thinly sliced

For the Spicy Mayo:

  • ¼ cup mayonnaise
  • 1 tablespoon sriracha
  • 1 teaspoon soy sauce

Instructions

Prepare the Sushi Rice

  1. Rinse the Rice – Place sushi rice in a fine mesh strainer and rinse under cold water until the water runs clear. This removes excess starch and prevents sticky rice.
  2. Cook the Rice – In a medium saucepan, combine rice and water. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 18-20 minutes until the water is absorbed.
  3. Season the Rice – In a small bowl, mix rice vinegar, sugar, and salt. Gently fold into the cooked rice. Let cool slightly before assembling bowls.

Assemble the Sushi Bowls

  1. Divide the Rice – Spoon cooked sushi rice into four bowls as the base.
  2. Add Toppings – Arrange shredded imitation crab, diced avocado, cucumber, and nori strips on top.
  3. Sprinkle Garnishes – Add sesame seeds and sliced green onions for extra flavor and texture.

Make the Spicy Mayo

  1. Mix Ingredients – In a small bowl, whisk together mayonnaise, sriracha, and soy sauce.
  2. Drizzle Over Bowls – Drizzle the spicy mayo over the assembled sushi bowls for a creamy, slightly spicy kick.
