Description
A simple assembly of ingredients mimicking the flavors of a California roll served in a bowl format.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup cooked short-grain sushi rice
- 4 ounces imitation crab meat (surimi), shredded
- 1/2 medium avocado, diced
- 1/4 English cucumber, thinly sliced or diced
- 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
- 1 teaspoon sugar
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1 tablespoon soy sauce (or tamari for gluten-free)
- 1 teaspoon toasted sesame oil
- 1 teaspoon black sesame seeds
- 1 teaspoon white sesame seeds
Instructions
- Prepare the sushi rice according to package directions. While the rice is still warm, mix the rice vinegar, sugar, and salt in a small bowl until dissolved. Gently fold this mixture into the warm rice. Let the rice cool to room temperature.
- In a separate small bowl, combine the shredded imitation crab meat with the soy sauce and sesame oil. Mix well.
- To assemble the bowls, divide the seasoned rice between two serving bowls.
- Arrange the seasoned crab mixture, diced avocado, and cucumber evenly over the rice in each bowl.
- Sprinkle the top of each bowl with black and white sesame seeds. Serve immediately.
Notes
- You can substitute real crab meat for imitation crab if desired.
- For extra flavor, drizzle a small amount of sriracha or mayonnaise mixed with sriracha over the top before serving.
