Instructions

  • Cook the rice: Rinse and cook rice. Mix vinegar, sugar, and salt. Fold into cooked rice and let cool slightly.

  • Prep proteins: Dice raw fish (if using sashimi-grade), cook shrimp or tofu, and keep everything chilled.

  • Slice veggies: Thinly cut avocado, cucumber, radish, carrot; boil edamame if frozen.

  • Mix sauces: Combine mayo and sriracha for spicy mayo. Use store-bought or homemade ponzu.

 

  • Assemble: Start with rice, layer proteins, veggies, garnishes, and drizzle with sauces.

Notes

  • Kid-Friendly Version: Skip the raw fish and spicy mayo. Use cooked shrimp, avocado, and soy sauce for a milder, fun build-your-own bowl.
