Cali Bowl Ingredients

Method

Cali Bowl Directions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Sushi Rice

    Rinse the sushi rice under cold water until the water runs clear. Combine the rice and water in a pot, bring to a boil, then reduce to a simmer. Cover and cook for 15 minutes, then remove from heat and let it sit covered for an additional 10 minutes.

  2. 2

    Make Pickled Red Onions

    Thinly slice the red onion. In a bowl, mix rice vinegar, sugar, and salt until dissolved. Add the sliced onions and let them sit for at least 15 minutes to pickle.

  3. 3

    Prepare Jicama Slaw

    Julienne the jicama and toss it with a pinch of salt and lime juice (optional) in a bowl.

  4. 4

    Slice Toppings

    Dice the avocado and mango. Thinly slice the jalapeno and scallions.

  5. 5

    Assemble the Bowl

    In a bowl, start with a base of warm sushi rice. Top with avocado, jalapenos, mango, scallions, jicama slaw, and pickled red onions. Drizzle chipotle mayo on top and sprinkle with sesame seeds.
