  • Total Time: 40 minutes
  • Yield: 4

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 ½ cups sushi rice
  • 3 tbsp rice vinegar
  • 1 tbsp sugar
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 8 oz sushi-grade salmon or tuna (or cooked shrimp/tofu)
  • 1 avocado, sliced
  • 1 cucumber, thinly sliced
  • 1 cup edamame, cooked
  • 1 carrot, shredded
  • 2 nori sheets, cut into strips
  • 2 tbsp sesame seeds
  • 2 green onions, thinly sliced
  • Pickled ginger (optional)
  • Spicy mayo or soy sauce for drizzling

Instructions

  • Rinse the sushi rice until the water runs clear, then cook with 2 cups of water.
  • Season warm rice with rice vinegar, sugar, and salt, folding gently.
  • Slice fish or prepare chosen protein.
  • Chop vegetables and prepare toppings.
  • Place rice in bowls, then neatly arrange protein and vegetables on top.
  • Garnish with sesame seeds, green onions, and nori strips.
  • Drizzle with sauce and serve immediately.

Notes

  • For a vegetarian bowl, use tofu or double the vegetables. Smoked salmon makes an easy, no-prep substitute for raw fish. Keep sauces on the side if you’re serving guests so they can customize flavor to their liking.
