Sushi Rice

Method

Preparing Sushi Rice

  1. 1

    Cook the Rice

    Rinse the sushi rice under cold water until the water runs clear. In a rice cooker or pot, combine the rice and water. Cook according to rice cooker instructions or bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 18-20 minutes. Remove from heat and let sit covered for 10 minutes.

  2. 2

    Season the Rice

    In a small bowl, combine rice vinegar, sugar, and salt. Microwave for 30 seconds to dissolve. Once the rice has rested, fluff with a fork and gently fold in the vinegar mixture. Allow the rice to cool to room temperature.

Assembling the Poke Bowl

  1. 3

    Prepare the Sauces

    In a bowl, mix together mayonnaise and sriracha for the spicy aioli. In another bowl, mix soy sauce and honey for the sweet soy reduction.

  2. 4

    Assemble the Bowl

    In a serving bowl, place a generous bed of sushi rice. Arrange the diced ahi tuna, nori strips, watermelon radish, pea shoots, mango, avocado, cucumber, edamame, and pickled ginger on top of the rice.

  3. 5

    Finish with Toppings

    Drizzle the spicy aioli and sweet soy reduction over the assembled poke bowl. Sprinkle with sesame seeds before serving.
