Directions

Step 1

Rinse the sushi rice under cold water until the water runs clear.

In a small bowl, mix rice vinegar, sugar, and salt. Gently fold this mixture into the cooked rice and allow it to cool slightly.

Step 5

Pan-sear the cubed tofu in a non-stick skillet over medium heat until golden brown on all sides. Set aside.

Step 6

Prepare the sushi bowl by dividing the seasoned rice into two serving bowls.

Step 7

Top each bowl with cooked edamame, shrimp, pan-seared tofu, sliced avocado, shredded carrot, sliced cucumber, and nori strips.

Step 8

In a small bowl, mix soy sauce, sriracha, and sesame oil to create a dressing.

Step 9

Drizzle the dressing over the sushi bowls.

Garnish with sesame seeds and sliced scallions.
