Easy California Roll Sushi Bowls
How could you go wrong with deconstructed sushi salad piled high in a bowl? It’s destined to be a new go-to weeknight recipe for you! You get a slightly sweet, slightly tangy, tender sushi rice, and atop is a blend of crab (or imitation crab meat), crisp fresh veggies including carrots, cucumber, and buttery avocado. Then there’s also umami-rich nori, flavorful pickled ginger, a salty soy finish, creamy and spicy sriracha mayo, then buttery little sesame seeds to finish it off with more texture. Talk about an explosion of flavor in every bite! Plus these are so easy to make. Just cook the rice, chop everything up, and then serve it layered together in individual bowls. No meticulous cutting and rolling just slice it, dice it, dress it, and boom! Dinner (or lunch) is served.
