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
- Rinse the sushi rice under cold water until the water runs clear to remove excess starch.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- In a separate small bowl, whisk together the soy sauce and sesame oil.
- 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.
- Drizzle the soy sauce and sesame oil mixture over the topped rice bowls, and garnish with chopped green onions.
- Serve immediately and enjoy the fresh, vibrant flavors of your Sushi Rice Bowl!
