Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Cook sushi rice: Rinse the sushi rice in a fine-mesh sieve until the water runs clear. Combine the rice and water in a saucepan. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 15-20 minutes, or until the water is absorbed and the rice is tender.
  2. Season rice: While the rice is still hot, gently stir in the rice vinegar, sugar, and salt. Let the rice cool to room temperature.
  3. Prepare protein (if needed): If cooking your protein, do so according to your preferred method.
  4. Assemble bowls: Divide the seasoned rice between two bowls. Arrange your chosen protein and toppings attractively over the rice.
  5. Add crunch and sauces: Sprinkle generously with tempura flakes (or crispy onions). Drizzle with spicy mayo and eel sauce (if desired).
  6. Garnish and serve: Sprinkle with sesame seeds and furikake seasoning. Serve immediately.

Notes

  • Rice: Sushi rice is essential for the best flavor and texture. If you can't find it, short-grain rice is a good substitute.
  • Protein: Choose your favorite protein or a combination. You can also use leftover cooked protein.
  • Toppings: Get creative with your toppings! The possibilities are endless.
  • Crunch: Tempura flakes (tenkasu) are the traditional crunch for a crunch roll. Crushed crispy onions are a good substitute.
  • Sauces: Spicy mayo and eel sauce are common additions, but you can use other sauces, such as teriyaki sauce or soy sauce.
