Ingredients

Scale

Base

  • 1 cup sushi rice
  • 2 tablespoons rice vinegar

Protein

  • 4 oz fresh tuna, salmon, cooked shrimp, or tofu (for vegetarian)

Vegetables and Toppings

  • ½ cup cucumber, sliced into bite-sized pieces
  • ½ avocado, sliced or cubed
  • 2 tablespoons tempura crunch bits
  • 2 scallions, finely chopped
  • 1 tablespoon sesame seeds, toasted
  • Pickled ginger, for serving
  • Wasabi, for serving

Sauces

  • 2 tablespoons soy sauce or tamari (gluten-free alternative)
  • 2 tablespoons spicy mayo (mix of mayonnaise and sriracha)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Sushi Rice: Cook sushi rice according to package directions. Once cooked, gently fold in the rice vinegar for that authentic tangy, slightly sweet flavor. Spread the rice on a flat surface or tray to cool slightly and prevent clumping.
  2. Prep Your Ingredients: Slice your chosen fresh fish or protein, cucumber, and avocado into bite-sized pieces. If using shrimp or tofu, cook and season them beforehand. Finely chop the scallions and prepare any pickled ginger or wasabi garnishes.
  3. Assemble the Bowl: Place a generous scoop of the cooled sushi rice as the base of your bowl. Neatly layer your fish or protein, cucumber, and avocado over the rice, distributing ingredients evenly to ensure balanced flavors in every bite.
  4. Add the Crunch: Sprinkle tempura crunch bits liberally on top to provide the signature crispy texture that makes this bowl stand out.
  5. Drizzle Sauces: Finish by drizzling soy sauce or tamari and spicy mayo over the assembled bowl for a creamy, savory, and slightly spicy flavor boost.
  6. Garnish and Serve: Add pickled ginger, a dab of wasabi, chopped scallions, and toasted sesame seeds on top to enhance both flavor and presentation. Serve immediately for best texture.

Notes

  • Rice Cooling: Spread the cooked rice on a large flat surface to cool faster and reduce clumping.
  • Freshness is Key: Use the freshest sushi-grade fish or trusted protein options for optimal flavor and safety.
  • Crunch Alternatives: Try substituting tempura bits with crushed rice crackers, nori chips, or fried shallots for varied textures.
  • Layering Tips: Place wetter ingredients like avocado on top of rice to avoid sogginess.
  • Make Your Own Spicy Mayo: Combine mayonnaise and sriracha to control spice level and ensure freshness.
