Ingredients

Scale

Base

  • 1 cup sushi rice
  • 2 tablespoons rice vinegar
  • 1 tablespoon sugar
  • Pinch of salt

Fresh Ingredients

  • Fresh cucumber, sliced into thin sticks or rounds
  • 1 avocado, diced
  • Imitation crab or cooked shrimp, shredded or chopped into bite-sized pieces
  • Green onions, chopped

Crispy and Toppings

  • Tempura crunch flakes (or crushed rice crackers/tortilla chips as alternatives)
  • Sesame seeds for garnish

Sauces and Seasonings

  • Mayonnaise mixed with sriracha (to taste) for spicy mayo drizzle
  • Soy sauce or tamari, for drizzling or dipping

Instructions

  1. Prepare Sushi Rice: Rinse 1 cup of sushi rice under cold water until the water runs clear. Cook according to package instructions. While the rice is still warm, season it gently with a mixture of 2 tablespoons rice vinegar, 1 tablespoon sugar, and a pinch of salt. Fold carefully to combine the seasoning without breaking the grains and set aside to cool.
  2. Chop Fresh Ingredients: Slice the cucumber into thin sticks or rounds. Dice the avocado. Chop green onions finely. Prepare the seafood by shredding imitation crab or chopping cooked shrimp into bite-sized pieces.
  3. Assemble the Bowl: Start with a generous scoop of the seasoned sushi rice as the base. Layer sliced cucumber, diced avocado, and your choice of seafood on top.
  4. Add Crunchy Topping: Sprinkle a handful of crispy tempura flakes evenly over the bowl to give it the signature crunch.
  5. Drizzle with Sauces: Mix mayonnaise with sriracha to your preferred heat level to make spicy mayo. Drizzle the spicy mayo evenly over the bowl. Add soy sauce or tamari to taste. Finally, sprinkle sesame seeds and chopped green onions as garnish.
  6. Serve Immediately: Enjoy your Easy Crunch Roll Sushi Bowl fresh to savor the contrast of crisp textures and fresh flavors.

Notes

  • Use short-grain sushi rice for the best texture and stickiness.
  • Gently fold the vinegar mixture into the rice to keep the grains intact and fluffy.
  • Add tempura flakes just before serving to maintain their crunchiness.
  • Freshness of cucumber, avocado, and seafood greatly enhances the flavor of this dish.
  • Adjust the spiciness of the mayo by varying the amount of sriracha to suit your taste.
