# How to Prepare:

01 - Rinse sushi rice under cold water until water runs clear. Combine rice and 1 1/4 cups water in a saucepan. Bring to a boil, then cover and reduce heat to low. Cook for 15 minutes, then remove from heat and let stand covered for 10 minutes.
02 - In a small bowl, mix rice vinegar, sugar, and salt until dissolved. Gently fold this mixture into the cooked rice. Allow rice to cool to room temperature.
03 - In a bowl, whisk together mayonnaise, sriracha, and lime juice until well combined. Set aside.
04 - Julienne cucumber and carrot. Slice avocado and scallion. Cut nori into thin strips. Cook edamame if using fresh. Have all prepared ingredients ready for assembly.
05 - Divide seasoned sushi rice evenly between two bowls. Arrange cucumber, carrot, avocado, scallion, nori strips, pickled ginger, edamame, and fish in organized sections over the rice.
06 - Drizzle spicy mayo over the bowl. Sprinkle toasted sesame seeds over the top. Serve immediately with soy sauce or tamari on the side.

# Expert Suggestions:

01 -
  • It tastes exactly like sushi but comes together faster than you can order delivery.
  • Every bite is crispy, creamy, and satisfying without requiring any rolling skills whatsoever.
  • You can customize it endlessly based on what's in your fridge, so it never gets boring.
02 -
  • Don't skip the rice vinegar seasoning step; that's what separates this from just plain rice in a bowl.
  • If your avocado is hard, slice it before you start cooking the rice so it has time to soften slightly, or buy one that's already ripe.
03 -
  • Toast your own sesame seeds in a dry skillet over medium heat for about two minutes until fragrant—it's barely any extra work and completely transforms the final bowl.
  • Keep everything separate in your bowl until you're ready to eat so textures stay distinct and nothing gets mushy.
