Description
The Crunch Roll Sushi Bowl delivers all the excitement of sushi in a convenient and innovative way.
Ingredients
Scale
- 8 oz imitation crab, diced
- 3 cups cooked white or brown rice
- 1 cucumber, diced
- 1 large avocado, diced
- ¼ cup fresh cilantro, chopped
- Eel Sauce
- ¼ cup soy sauce
- ¼ cup sugar
- 3 tbsp mirin
- Spicy Mayo
- ¼ cup mayonnaise
- 1 tbsp sriracha sauce
- Toasted Panko
- 1 cup panko breadcrumbs
- ¼ cup olive oil
Instructions
- Begin by cooking your choice of rice as per the package instructions. You can opt for white or brown rice based on your preference. Once cooked, keep it warm until needed. The warmth of the rice helps blend the ingredients in the bowl for maximum flavor absorption.
- Create the eel sauce by combining soy sauce, sugar, and mirin in a small saucepan. Allow the mixture to simmer gently for about five minutes, offering a slightly thick consistency. Ensure you cool it after simmering, as you’ll drizzle this over the final dish.
- Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat, then add panko breadcrumbs. Stir continuously for four minutes until the breadcrumbs achieve a golden hue. This crunch adds a delightful texture to your sushi bowl. Set aside to cool.
- In a small bowl, whisk together mayonnaise and sriracha sauce until smooth. Chill this mixture until needed to maintain its creamy texture and allow flavors to meld.
- Dice cucumber, avocado, fresh cilantro, and imitation crab into small, bite-sized pieces. This ensures every spoonful offers a burst of each flavor and texture. Keeping them uniform helps in distributing evenly across the bowl.
- To assemble, divide the warm rice between bowls, and then layer with prepared crab, cucumber, avocado, and cilantro. Drizzle with the cooled eel sauce and spicy mayo to your taste. Lastly, sprinkle the toasted panko on top for that extra crunch.
Notes
