Ingredients
1 1/2 cups sushi rice
2 cups water
1 tablespoon rice vinegar
1 teaspoon sugar
1/2 teaspoon salt
12 peeled and deveined shrimp
1 tablespoon cornstarch
1 teaspoon soy sauce (halal or non-alcoholic)
1/4 teaspoon sesame oil
1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
1 medium avocado, sliced
1 small cucumber, thinly sliced
4 sheets nori, toasted and crumbled
1/4 cup pickled radishes, sliced
1/4 cup edamame, shelled
1/4 cup soy sauce or tamari (halal or non-alcoholic)
1 tablespoon rice vinegar
1 teaspoon sesame seeds
1 teaspoon honey (or agave for vegan option)
Optional: chili flakes or wasabi for extra spice
Instructions
Rinse sushi rice in cold water until water runs clear. Drain well.
In a medium saucepan, combine rice and water. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 18 minutes or until water is absorbed.
In a small bowl, mix rice vinegar, sugar, and salt. Once rice is cooked, fluff with a fork and stir in the vinegar mixture.
Place shrimp in a bowl. Mix cornstarch, soy sauce, sesame oil, and garlic powder. Toss until shrimp are evenly coated.
Heat a skillet over medium-high heat. Cook shrimp for 2-3 minutes on each side until golden and crispy. Set aside.
In a large bowl, arrange seasoned rice as the base. Top with avocado, cucumber, nori, pickled radishes, edamame, and crispy shrimp.
In a small bowl, whisk together soy sauce, rice vinegar, sesame seeds, and honey for the sauce. Serve alongside the bowl for drizzling.
Notes
Adjust sauce to taste with more honey for sweetness or chili flakes for heat.
Use substitute tamari for a gluten-free option.
Cooked rice keeps for 2 days in the fridge. Reheat gently before serving.
Add additional vegetables, such as bell peppers or shredded carrots, for more crunch.
