Instructions
Step 1: Prepare the Sushi Rice
- Rinse the sushi rice under cold water until the water runs clear.
- 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.
- While the rice is cooking, heat the rice vinegar, sugar, and salt in a small saucepan over low heat, stirring until the sugar dissolves.
- Once the rice is done, remove from heat and let it sit, covered, for 10 minutes.
- Fluff the rice and gently mix in the vinegar mixture. Let it cool to room temperature.
Step 2: Cook the Teriyaki Shrimp
- In a small bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, honey, rice vinegar, sesame oil, ginger, and garlic.
- Heat a skillet over medium-high heat. Add the shrimp and pour the teriyaki sauce over them.
- Cook for about 2-3 minutes per side until the shrimp turn pink and opaque.
- If you want a thicker sauce, mix cornstarch with water and add it to the pan, stirring until the sauce thickens.
- Remove from heat and set aside.
Step 3: Make the Spicy Mayo
- In a small bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise, sriracha, and lemon juice until smooth.
- Adjust the spice level by adding more sriracha if desired.
Step 4: Assemble the Sushi Bowls
- Divide the sushi rice among four bowls.
- Arrange the teriyaki shrimp, avocado slices, cucumber, carrot, edamame, nori strips, and pickled ginger over the rice.
- Drizzle with spicy mayo and sprinkle with sesame seeds and chopped green onions.
