Ingredients

• 1 cup Sushi rice
• 1.25 cups Water
• 2 tablespoons Rice vinegar
• 1 tablespoon Sugar
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 1 cup Cucumber, diced
• 1 cup Carrot, shredded
• 1 medium Avocado, sliced
• 1 cup Cooked crab or shredded imitation crab (soy-free)
• 2 small sheets Nori sheets, cut into strips
• 1 teaspoon Toasted sesame oil
• 2 tablespoons Coconut aminos (soy-free soy sauce alternative)
• 1 teaspoon Toasted sesame seeds
• 2 tablespoons Pickled ginger (optional)

Directions

Step 1

Rinse the sushi rice thoroughly under cold water until the water runs clear. This helps remove excess starch.

Step 2

In a medium saucepan, combine the rinsed sushi rice and water. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat, then reduce the heat to low, cover, and let simmer for 18-20 minutes, or until the rice is tender and the water is absorbed.

Step 3

While the rice cooks, prepare the sushi seasoning by mixing the rice vinegar, sugar, and salt in a small bowl until dissolved.

Step 4

Once the rice is cooked, transfer it to a large bowl and gently fold in the sushi seasoning while the rice is still warm. Allow it to cool to room temperature.

Step 5

While the rice is cooling, prepare the toppings: dice the cucumber, shred the carrots, slice the avocado, and cut the nori sheets into thin strips.

Step 6

Assemble the sushi bowl by dividing the seasoned sushi rice into two bowls.

Step 7

Top each bowl with equal portions of cucumber, shredded carrot, sliced avocado, and cooked crab or soy-free imitation crab.

Step 8

Drizzle each bowl with toasted sesame oil and coconut aminos for added flavor.

Step 9

Garnish with strips of nori, toasted sesame seeds, and optional pickled ginger.

Step 10

Serve immediately and enjoy your fresh and flavorful soy-free sushi bowl!
