Creating Spicy Salmon Sushi Bowls is simple with these easy-to-follow steps:
1. Cook the Rice: Rinse the sushi rice under cold water until the water runs clear. Combine the rice and water in a rice cooker or pot. Cook according to the rice cooker’s instructions or bring to a boil, then reduce heat, cover, and simmer for 15 minutes. Remove from heat and let it sit for another 10 minutes.
2. Prepare the Salmon: In a bowl, mix the diced salmon with mayonnaise, sriracha, and soy sauce. Stir until well combined. Adjust the level of sriracha according to your spice preference.
3. Prepare the Vegetables: Slice the avocado, cucumber, and julienne the carrot. Arrange these vegetables on a plate for easy access.
4. Assemble the Bowls: Once the rice has cooled slightly, divide it into serving bowls. Top each bowl with the spicy salmon mixture.
5. Add the Toppings: Layer the sliced avocado, cucumber, and carrot on top of the salmon. Sprinkle with sesame seeds and sliced green onions.
6. Garnish: If using, add strips of seaweed on top and serve with pickled ginger on the side.
7. Enjoy: Serve immediately while the ingredients are fresh and flavorful.
