Ingredients
For sushi bowl
- 1 batch prepared sushi rice
- 2 teaspoon sesame seeds
- ½ sheet nori (cut into thin strips)
- 1 avocado
- 1 cucumber (julienned)
- 180 grams crab meat (I used king crab legs)
- 2 tablespoons tobiko (optional)
- green shiso (optional)
- daikon sprouts (optional)
- Citrus zest (optional)
For sauce
- 1 tablespoon soy sauce
- 1 teaspoon rice vinegar
- ½ teaspoon wasabi
Instructions
- The first thing you'll need to do is cook and season a batch of my sushi rice.
- While you're waiting for the rice to cook, make the sauce by whisking together the soy sauce, rice vinegar, and wasabi until there are no lumps of wasabi left. Prep all the other ingredients except for the avocado.
- When the rice is done, split it between two large serving bowls and then top it with a sprinkle of sesame seeds and nori.
- To make the avocado rose, cut the avocado in half and remove the pit. Peel the avocado by hand and trim off about ¼-inch of the top of the avocado where the stem was.
- Slice the avocado into thin slices (about 1/16-inch thick) and then splay the slices out into a thin line.
- Roll the slices of avocado starting from the bottom of the avocado and spiraling it together towards the top.
- Transfer the rolled avocado on top of the rice and use your fingers to press the slices of avocado outwards from the center to make the avocado rose bloom. Repeat with the other half of the avocado.
- Arrange the cucumber and crab around the bowl and decorate with the leaves.
- Garnish with tobiko and citrus zest.
