A quick, easy, and vibrant sushi bowl recipe that combines fluffy sushi rice with fresh veggies, creamy avocado, and a tangy dressing for a healthy, customizable meal.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup sushi rice (short-grain rice), rinsed well
  • 1 1/4 cups water
  • 2 tablespoons rice vinegar
  • 1 teaspoon sugar
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 ripe avocado, sliced
  • 1 cup cucumber, julienned or thinly sliced
  • 1 medium carrot, shredded or julienned
  • 1/2 cup edamame, shelled and cooked
  • 1/4 cup pickled ginger
  • 2 sheets nori, torn into bite-sized pieces
  • 2 tablespoons toasted sesame seeds
  • Optional: 1/2 cup cooked shrimp, crab meat, or tofu cubes
  • 2 tablespoons soy sauce or tamari
  • 1 teaspoon toasted sesame oil
  • 1 teaspoon honey or maple syrup
  • 1 teaspoon freshly grated ginger

Instructions

  1. Rinse the sushi rice under cold water using a fine-mesh sieve until the water runs clear, about 3-4 minutes.
  2. In a medium saucepan, combine rinsed rice and 1 1/4 cups water. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat, then reduce to low, cover, and simmer for 18 minutes without lifting the lid.
  3. Mix rice vinegar, sugar, and salt in a small bowl until dissolved. Transfer cooked rice to a large bowl and gently fold in the vinegar mixture. Spread rice out to cool slightly.
  4. Prepare toppings: slice avocado, julienne cucumber and carrot, cook and cool edamame, tear nori sheets into bite-sized pieces, and cube protein if using.
  5. Whisk together soy sauce, toasted sesame oil, honey or maple syrup, and freshly grated ginger in a small bowl. Adjust sweetness or saltiness to taste.
  6. Scoop sushi rice into bowls. Arrange avocado, cucumber, carrot, edamame, pickled ginger, torn nori, and protein over the rice. Sprinkle with toasted sesame seeds.
  7. Drizzle dressing over each bowl just before serving. Mix gently if desired and serve immediately.

Notes

Rinse sushi rice thoroughly to remove excess starch and prevent clumping. Fold vinegar mixture gently into rice to keep it fluffy. Toast sesame seeds fresh for best flavor. Toss avocado slices with lemon juice to prevent browning. Store components separately if making ahead and assemble just before serving.
