Sushi Bowl Recipe

I wanted sushi the other night. But then I thought about the mat, the rolling, the mess… nope. Not happening. So I made this instead. It’s all the good parts of a sushi roll—the rice, the fish, the spicy mayo—dumped unceremoniously into a bowl. No skill required. This is my go-to meal when I need dinner on the table fast but still want to feel like I actually tried.

The Stuff You’ll Need For Sushi Bowl Recipe

Don’t get too hung up on this list. It’s just a suggestion based on what I had in the fridge. Use whatever veggies you need to get rid of.

For the Rice:

• 1 cup sushi rice
• 1 ¼ cups water
• 2 tablespoons rice vinegar
• 1 tablespoon sugar
• ½ teaspoon salt

For the Bowl Toppings:

• ½ lb sushi-grade salmon or tuna, in cubes
• 1 avocado, sliced
• 1 cup shelled edamame, cooked
• 1 cucumber, chopped
• 1 carrot, shredded
• Nori sheets, snipped into strips
• Sesame seeds

For the Sauce:

• ⅓ cup mayo
• 1-2 tablespoons sriracha
• 1 teaspoon soy sauce

How to Throw It Together

Step 1: The Rice

The rice is the only part that needs a little attention. Wash it. Please, wash it. Just swish it around in a strainer with cold water for a minute. Then, rice and water go into a pot. Bring it to a boil, cover it, turn the heat down to low, and set a timer for 15 minutes. Walk away. After 15, turn the heat off but leave the lid on for 10 more minutes. For the vinegar part, just stir the vinegar, sugar, and salt together until it dissolves. Pour it over the finished rice and fluff it around with a spoon.

Step 2: The Chopping

While the rice is cooking, just chop everything else up. Cut the salmon into chunks, slice the avocado and cucumber. Shred a carrot if you’re feeling ambitious. Get your edamame ready. Just put it all on a plate or cutting board so you can grab it easily.

Step 3: The Sauce

For the sauce, just mix the mayo and sriracha in a small bowl. Add a little soy sauce. Taste it. Need more of a kick? Add more sriracha. Done.

Step 4: The Assembly

Once the rice is ready, scoop some into a bowl. Then just start piling the other stuff on top. I try to make it look nice for about ten seconds before I get hungry and decide to mess it all up. Drizzle the sauce everywhere, shake some sesame seeds on, and finish it with the seaweed strips.

Why I Make This All The Time

Sushi Bowl Recipe isn’t a fancy, mind-blowing recipe. It’s just really, really good for a normal weeknight. It’s fast, you can change it up based on what you have, and it stops me from ordering expensive takeout. It feels pretty healthy but also has that spicy mayo thing going for it, which is the whole point, right? So yeah, give it a try. I’m curious to see what weird combos you come up with, so feel free to drop them in the comments.

dont have salmon. use tuna or even cooked shrimp. or tofu for no meat.
