Ingredients
For 2 servings:
- 200 grams sushi rice
- 250 ml water
- 2 tablespoons rice vinegar
- 1 tablespoon sugar (optional, for the rice)
- 1 teaspoon salt (optional, for the rice)
- 200 grams fresh salmon or tuna, sushi-grade
- 1 tablespoon LET'S ROLL (Poke & Sushi Seasoning)
- 1 avocado, sliced
- 1/2 cucumber, thinly sliced
- 100 grams edamame beans, fresh or thawed
- 1/4 red onion, sliced paper-thin
- Seaweed salad (ready-made or homemade)
- Toasted sesame seeds
For the dressing:
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce (or tamari)
- 1 tablespoon sesame oil
- 1 teaspoon lime juice
- Pinch of chili flakes (optional)
Preparation
- Cook the rice: Rinse the sushi rice thoroughly under cold water until the water runs clear. Cook the rice with 250 ml of water according to package directions. After cooking, stir in the rice vinegar, sugar, and salt (if used). Let it cool.
- Prepare the fish: Cut the salmon or tuna into cubes of about 1.5 cm. Gently mix the fish with 1 tablespoon of LET'S ROLL (Poke & Sushi Seasoning) and let it marinate briefly.
- Prepare the toppings: Slice the avocado, cucumber, and red onion. Ensure the edamame beans are ready for use.
- Make the dressing: Mix all dressing ingredients in a small bowl.
- Assemble the bowls: Divide the sushi rice between two bowls. Arrange the marinated fish, avocado, cucumber, edamame beans, and red onion in separate sections on top of the rice. Add a portion of seaweed salad.
- Finish: Drizzle the bowls with the dressing and sprinkle with toasted sesame seeds.
