Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup Sushi Rice, rinsed
- 1.25 cups Water
- 2 cups Finely Chopped Veggies (carrots, cucumber, bell peppers)
- 1 cup Steamed Mukimame
- 1 medium Diced Avocado
- 3 tablespoons Soy Sauce or Tamari
- 0.25 cup Mayonnaise
- 1 tablespoon Sriracha Sauce
- 1 teaspoon Honey
- 0.5 teaspoon Sesame Oil
- 1 tablespoon Black Sesame Seeds
Instructions
- Prepare the Sushi Rice: Rinse the sushi rice under cold water until the water runs clear. Then, combine with 1.25 cups of water in a rice cooker or pot. Cook until tender and fluffy according to package instructions. Allow it to cool completely.
- Chop Your Veggies: While the rice cools, finely chop your choice of vegetables. Aim for uniform bite-sized pieces to ensure they layer well in the cups.
- Mix the Sauce: In a bowl, mix together your choice of soy sauce, mayonnaise, sriracha, honey, and sesame oil. This creamy and spicy sauce is the heart of your sushi cups—make sure to taste it!
- Layer the Cups: In cupcake liners or small bowls, begin layering. Start with a scoop of sushi rice, followed by a generous layer of chopped veggies, mukimame, and diced avocado. Drizzle the creamy sauce over each layer.
- Finish & Serve: Sprinkle black sesame seeds on top for a beautiful touch. Serve your sushi cups immediately, or chill them slightly to allow the flavors to meld even more.
Notes
Make-ahead Tips: Prepare the sushi rice and chop the veggies ahead of time. Assemble the cups right before serving to keep the ingredients fresh.
