Ingredients
For the rice:
- 2 cups Calrose rice (Japanese sushi rice)
- 2 cups water
- 5 tbsp rice vinegar
- ½ tsp sugar
- ¼ tsp salt
For the bowls:
- 8 oz Surimi (imitation crab), chopped
- 1 large avocado, sliced or chopped
- ½ English cucumber chopped
- 1 sheet nori seaweed, chopped
- ¼ cup mayonnaise
- ½ tbsp sriracha
- Low-sodium soy sauce
- Toasted sesame seeds and pickled ginger for serving
Instructions
- Make the rice: place the rice in a colander and rinse it with water until it runs clear. Place the drained rice in a saucepan, add the water, and heat over medium-high heat. Bring to a boil and reduce the heat. Simmer, covered, until all the water has been absorbed, about 15 mins. Remove from heat and let it sit, covered for 15 mins.
- Mix the rice vinegar, salt, and sugar in a measuring cup. Transfer the cooked rice to a bowl and use a paddle to break it up. Drizzle the prepared vinegar over the rice and mix until the vinegar is well incorporated and the rice has cooled down. Cover with a damp towel until cooled down completely.
- Prepare the bowls: divide the rice, surimi, avocado, and cucumber between 5 bowls. Rice first, toppings over rice.
- Mix the mayonnaise with the sriracha and drizzle over the bowls. Top with chopped nori and toasted sesame seeds, and serve with pickled ginger and soy sauce on the side.
