Ingredients

Units Scale

Sushi Rice

  • 1.5 cups short grain rice
  • 2 tsp sushi vinegar
  • 1/4 tsp salt

Spicy Surimi

  • 8 oz imitation crabmeat
  • 1 Tbsp Kewpie mayo or light mayonnaise
  • 2 tsp chili sesame oil
  • 1 tsp honey
  • 2 tsp soy sauce
  • 4 sprigs scallions, roughly chopped
  • 2 tsp sesame seeds
  • 2.5 tsp Sriracha
  • 1/2 tsp cayenne
  • 1 Tbsp masago (optional)

Toppings

  • Nori furikake (seaweed flakes for rice)
  • Avocado, cubed
  • Seaweed, cut into thin strips
  • Masago
  • Cucumber, thinly sliced widthwise

Instructions

  1. 1. Prepare sushi rice according to package instructions. Generally, every 1 cup calls for 1.5 cups of water. After the sushi rice has finished cooking, mix in vinegar & salt. Set aside to cool down.
  2. 2. In a food processor, combine all ingredients & pulse until thoroughly combined. Add more spices to desired heat. I like to add smoked ghost chili peppers because I like crying into my bowl of rice.
  3. 3. In a serving bowl, mix together rice & seaweed seasoning flakes. Assemble the sushi bowl by scooping a hearty amount of the spicy surimi & garnishing with the toppings.

Notes

  • It is essential that you use short grain rice because it’s not a sushi bowl if you don’t! Sushi is made with short grain rice, not long grain, & most definitely not jasmine rice. Not all rice is made equal!
  • If you’re not a fan of the heat, use regular sesame oil rather than hot chili sesame oil (obviiiii!) & don’t add any of the things that make the ingredients hot (cayenne, Sriracha, etc). I HIGHLY recommend using Kewpie mayo than anything else. If you can get your hands on some Japanese mayo, do it up!!! I put that condiment on almost everything.
