Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup Sushi rice
- 1.5 cups Water
- 2 tablespoons Rice vinegar
- 1 tablespoon Sugar
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 2 Nori sheets
- 1 Cucumber
- 1 Carrot
- 1 Avocado
- 1 cup Shelled edamame
- 2 tablespoons Pickled ginger
- 3 tablespoons Soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon Lime juice
- 1 teaspoon Toasted sesame oil
- 1 tablespoon Sesame seeds
- 2 Scallions
Instructions
Rinse the sushi rice under cold water until the water runs clear. Combine the rice and water in a medium pot, bring to a boil, then reduce the heat to low, cover, and simmer for 15 minutes. Remove from heat and let it sit, covered, for 10 minutes.
In a small bowl, mix the rice vinegar, sugar, and salt until dissolved. Gently fold this mixture into the warm rice. Allow the rice to cool to room temperature.
While the rice is cooking, prepare the vegetables: thinly slice the cucumber, julienne the carrot, and dice the avocado.
Toast the nori sheets over an open flame (or in a dry pan) for a few seconds until crisp. Crumble or cut them into small strips using scissors.
Blanch the shelled edamame in boiling water for 2-3 minutes, then drain and set aside.
In a small bowl, whisk together soy sauce, lime juice, and sesame oil to make the dressing.
Assemble the deconstructed sushi bowls: divide the sushi rice equally between two bowls. Arrange the cucumber, carrot, avocado, edamame, and pickled ginger on top of the rice in sections.
Top with crumbled nori, sesame seeds, and thinly sliced scallions. Drizzle with the prepared soy sauce dressing just before serving.
