Ingredients
- 68 pieces shrimp tempura (store-bought or homemade)
- 2 cups cooked sushi rice
- 1 cucumber, julienned
- 1 avocado, sliced
- ½ cup shredded carrots
- ¼ cup sliced green onions
- 1 sheet nori (seaweed), cut into small strips
- ¼ cup tempura flakes or crispy fried onions
- ¼ cup mayonnaise
- 12 tbsps (180 ml) sriracha
- Soy sauce or tamari, for drizzling
- Sesame seeds
- Pickled ginger (optional)
Instructions
- Rice Preparation: Thoroughly rinse sushi rice under cool water until liquid runs clear. Cook according to package instructions, ensuring fluffy texture and perfect consistency.
- Rice Seasoning: Incorporate rice vinegar, sugar, and salt into warm rice. Gently fold to distribute flavors evenly, allowing mixture to cool and develop a subtle, tangy profile.
- Spicy Mayo Creation: Blend mayonnaise, sriracha, and soy sauce, adjusting heat levels to personal preference. Whisk until smooth, creating a vibrant, zesty sauce.
- Bowl Assembly: Layer seasoned rice as a foundational canvas. Arrange tempura shrimp as the centerpiece, surrounding with cucumber, avocado, shredded carrots, and green onions in an artistic composition.
- Flavor Enhancement: Drizzle spicy mayo generously across ingredients. Sprinkle toasted sesame seeds and nori strips to add textural complexity and depth of flavor.
- Final Touches: Optional crispy panko or tempura fragments provide additional crunch. Optionally cascade eel sauce for a sweet undertone that complements the savory elements.
- Serving Suggestion: Accompany bowl with pickled ginger and wasabi, inviting diners to customize their culinary experience with traditional Japanese condiments.
Notes
Perfect Rice Texture: Rinse sushi rice thoroughly to remove excess starch, ensuring each grain remains separate and fluffy without becoming sticky or clumpy.
Customize Heat Level: Adjust spicy mayo by incrementally adding sriracha, allowing personal preference to guide the sauce’s intensity without overwhelming other delicate flavors.
Maximize Ingredient Freshness: Select crisp, vibrant vegetables like cucumber and avocado at peak ripeness to enhance the bowl’s overall taste and textural contrast.
Elevate Presentation: Layer ingredients strategically, creating visual appeal through color variation and height, ensuring each component remains distinct and appetizing.
