Description

A fun, deconstructed sushi dish with layers of creamy avocado, tangy vinegar rice, crisp cucumber, and spicy mayo shrimp.


Ingredients

  • 1 cup uncooked short-grain sushi rice
  • 2 cups water
  • 2 Tbsp rice vinegar
  • 1 Tbsp sugar
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1 cup cucumber, diced
  • 1 cup avocado, mashed
  • Juice of ½ lime
  • Salt to taste
  • ½ lb cooked shrimp, diced
  • 3 Tbsp mayonnaise
  • 1 Tbsp sriracha (adjust to taste)
  • 4 tsp furikake or sesame seeds

Instructions

  1. Rinse rice until water is clear. Cook with water; once done, fold in vinegar, sugar, and salt while still warm. Let cool slightly.
  2. Mix diced cucumber with mashed avocado, lime juice, and salt.
  3. Toss shrimp with mayo and sriracha until evenly coated.
  4. Lightly oil a 1-cup measuring cup or ring mold. Press ¼ cup rice into the bottom.
  5. Add a layer of avocado–cucumber mixture, then shrimp. Top with more rice if desired.
  6. Flip onto a plate, remove mold, and sprinkle with furikake or sesame seeds. Repeat to make 3–4 stacks.

Notes

  • Swap shrimp for spicy tuna, salmon, or crab salad.
  • Add mango or radish layer.
  • Use brown sushi rice for extra nutrition.
  • Drizzle spicy mayo or eel sauce on top for more flavor.
  • Store components separately for up to 2 days.
  • Press avocado mixture with plastic wrap to prevent browning.
