Ingredients
Scale
Rice
- 1 cup sushi rice
- 1 1/4 cups water
Spicy Salmon Mixture
- 8 oz fresh salmon, diced
- 2 tablespoons mayonnaise
- 1 tablespoon sriracha sauce
Toppings & Garnishes
- 1 avocado, sliced
- 1 cucumber, thinly sliced
- 2 green onions, chopped
- 1 tablespoon sesame seeds
Serving
- Soy sauce, for serving
Instructions
- Rinse the rice: Rinse the sushi rice under cold water until the water runs clear to remove excess starch for perfect texture.
- Cook the rice: In a pot, combine the rinsed rice and water, then bring to a boil over medium-high heat.
- Simmer: Reduce heat to low, cover the pot, and simmer gently for 20 minutes or until the rice is tender and water is absorbed.
- Prepare spicy salmon: In a bowl, mix the diced fresh salmon with mayonnaise and sriracha sauce until well combined and creamy.
- Fluff the rice: Once the rice is cooked, fluff it gently with a fork and let it cool slightly to room temperature.
- Assemble the bowls: Place a scoop of the cooked rice in each bowl, then top with the spicy salmon mixture, slices of avocado, cucumber, and chopped green onions.
- Garnish and serve: Sprinkle sesame seeds over the bowls and serve with soy sauce on the side for dipping or drizzling.
Notes
- Use fresh, sushi-grade salmon to ensure the best flavor and safety for raw consumption.
- Adjust the amount of sriracha in the spicy salmon mixture according to your preferred spice level.
- Allow the rice to cool slightly before assembling to prevent wilting the avocado and greens.
- For added texture, you can toast the sesame seeds lightly before sprinkling.
- Serve immediately to enjoy the freshness of ingredients.
