Sushi Rice Bowl

Ingredients

Sushi rice

1 cup

Water

1 1/4 cups

Rice vinegar

2 tablespoons

Sugar

1 tablespoon

Salt

1/2 teaspoon

Soy sauce

2 tablespoons

Sesame oil

1 tablespoon

Avocado

1, sliced

Cucumber

1/2, sliced

Carrot

1/2, julienned

Radish

1, thinly sliced

Nori sheets

1, cut into strips

Green onions

2, chopped

Sesame seeds

1 tablespoon, toasted

Instructions

1. Rinse the sushi rice under cold water until the water runs clear to remove excess starch.
2. In a saucepan, combine the rinsed sushi rice and water. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat, then reduce the heat to low, cover, and simmer for about 15 minutes or until the water is absorbed and the rice is tender.
3. While the rice is cooking, prepare the seasoning by mixing together rice vinegar, sugar, and salt in a small bowl. Microwave the mixture for 30 seconds to dissolve the sugar completely.
4. Once the rice is cooked, transfer it to a large bowl and gently fold in the vinegar mixture with a wooden spatula, being careful not to mash the rice. Let the seasoned rice cool to room temperature.
5. In a separate small bowl, whisk together the soy sauce and sesame oil.
6. To assemble, divide the cooled sushi rice between two bowls. Top each bowl with sliced avocado, cucumber, julienned carrot, radish, nori strips, and a sprinkle of toasted sesame seeds.
7. Drizzle the soy sauce and sesame oil mixture over the topped rice bowls, and garnish with chopped green onions.
8. Serve immediately and enjoy the fresh, vibrant flavors of your Sushi Rice Bowl!
