Instructions
Rinse the sushi rice under cold water until the water runs clear.
Combine the rinsed sushi rice and 1.25 cups of water in a pot and bring to a boil. Once boiling, reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 15 minutes, or until the water is absorbed.
Remove the pot from heat and let the rice sit, covered, for 10 minutes.
In a small bowl, mix rice vinegar, sugar, and salt. Gently fold this mixture into the cooked rice and allow it to cool slightly.
Pan-sear the cubed tofu in a non-stick skillet over medium heat until golden brown on all sides. Set aside.
Prepare the sushi bowl by dividing the seasoned rice into two serving bowls.
Top each bowl with cooked edamame, shrimp, pan-seared tofu, sliced avocado, shredded carrot, sliced cucumber, and nori strips.
In a small bowl, mix soy sauce, sriracha, and sesame oil to create a dressing.
Drizzle the dressing over the sushi bowls.
Garnish with sesame seeds and sliced scallions.
Serve immediately and enjoy your high-protein sushi bowl!
