Instructions

Step 1: Prepare the Sushi Rice

  1. Rinse the sushi rice under cold water until the water runs clear.
  2. In a medium pot, combine the rice and water. Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat to low, cover, and cook for about 15 minutes until the rice is tender.
  3. While the rice is cooking, heat the rice vinegar, sugar, and salt in a small saucepan over low heat, stirring until the sugar dissolves.
  4. Once the rice is done, remove from heat and let it sit, covered, for 10 minutes.
  5. Fluff the rice and gently mix in the vinegar mixture. Let it cool to room temperature.

Step 2: Cook the Teriyaki Shrimp

  1. In a small bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, honey, rice vinegar, sesame oil, ginger, and garlic.
  2. Heat a skillet over medium-high heat. Add the shrimp and pour the teriyaki sauce over them.
  3. Cook for about 2-3 minutes per side until the shrimp turn pink and opaque.
  4. If you want a thicker sauce, mix cornstarch with water and add it to the pan, stirring until the sauce thickens.
  5. Remove from heat and set aside.

Step 3: Make the Spicy Mayo

  1. In a small bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise, sriracha, and lemon juice until smooth.
  2. Adjust the spice level by adding more sriracha if desired.

Step 4: Assemble the Sushi Bowls

  1. Divide the sushi rice among four bowls.
  2. Arrange the teriyaki shrimp, avocado slices, cucumber, carrot, edamame, nori strips, and pickled ginger over the rice.
  3. Drizzle with spicy mayo and sprinkle with sesame seeds and chopped green onions.
  4. Serve immediately and enjoy!
