SUSHI BOWLS
- 2 cups sushi rice
- 1 large avocado
- 1/2 cup cucumber, diced
- 1/2 cup carrots, shredded
- 1/4 cup pickled ginger
- 1/4 cup soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons rice vinegar
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 teaspoon sesame seeds
- Salt and pepper, to taste
1. Cook the sushi rice according to package instructions. Once cooked, fluff with a fork and let it cool.
2. In a small bowl, mix together the soy sauce, rice vinegar, olive oil, and sesame seeds. This will be the dressing for the sushi bowl.
3. In a large bowl, add the cooled sushi rice and drizzle the dressing over it. Mix well until all the rice is coated with the dressing.
4. Cut the avocado in half, remove the pit, and slice it into thin pieces.
5. In a small skillet, heat a little olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the shredded carrots and cook for about 2 minutes, until slightly softened. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
6. In a separate bowl, add the diced cucumber and pickled ginger.
7. To assemble the sushi bowl, divide the dressed rice into two bowls. Top each bowl with sliced avocado, sautéed carrots, diced cucumber, and pickled ginger.
8. Serve the sushi bowl with extra soy sauce and sesame seeds on the side, if desired.
