Scale
Main Ingredients
- 2 cups cooked sushi rice
- 1 avocado, chopped
- 8 oz crab meat, cut into small pieces
- 1 oz seaweed sheets, cut into small pieces
- 1/2 English cucumber, sliced
Sauce
- 1/4 cup mayonnaise
- 1 tsp sriracha sauce
- 1 tsp soy sauce
- 1/4 tsp roasted sesame oil
Instructions
- Prepare the Spicy Sauce: In a medium bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise, sriracha sauce, soy sauce, and roasted sesame oil until smooth and well combined. Place the sauce into the refrigerator to chill while you assemble the bowl.
- Assemble the Sushi Bowl: Place the cooked sushi rice at the bottom of a serving bowl, spreading it out evenly. Layer the crab meat, chopped avocado, and sliced cucumber on top of the rice.
- Add Seaweed: Sprinkle the small pieces of seaweed sheets evenly over the top of the assembled ingredients to add a savory and slightly crunchy texture.
- Finish and Serve: Drizzle the chilled spicy sauce over the bowl just before serving to add a creamy and flavorful kick. Mix gently if desired, and enjoy your fresh California Sushi Bowl.
Notes
- Use freshly cooked sushi rice for best texture; sushi rice can be seasoned with rice vinegar if desired.
- If crab meat is frozen, thaw properly before using.
- Adjust sriracha quantity to control the spiciness of the sauce.
- Optional: add sesame seeds or pickled ginger for extra flavor.
- This recipe is best enjoyed immediately but can be stored in the fridge for up to 1 day.
