Description

Culinary adventurers discover pure bliss with Crunch Roll Sushi Bowl, a playful fusion of classic Japanese sushi flavors. Fresh ingredients and crispy textures merge seamlessly, offering a delightful dining experience that brings coastal inspiration directly to your plate.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 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

  1. Rice Preparation: Thoroughly rinse sushi rice under cool water until liquid runs clear. Cook according to package instructions, ensuring fluffy texture and perfect consistency.
  2. 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.
  3. Spicy Mayo Creation: Blend mayonnaise, sriracha, and soy sauce, adjusting heat levels to personal preference. Whisk until smooth, creating a vibrant, zesty sauce.
  4. 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.
  5. Flavor Enhancement: Drizzle spicy mayo generously across ingredients. Sprinkle toasted sesame seeds and nori strips to add textural complexity and depth of flavor.
  6. Final Touches: Optional crispy panko or tempura fragments provide additional crunch. Optionally cascade eel sauce for a sweet undertone that complements the savory elements.
  7. 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.
