Ingredients

Scale

Rice Base

  • 1 cup sushi rice

Toppings

  • 68 cooked shrimp
  • 1/2 cup cucumber, diced or sliced
  • 1/2 cup mango, diced

Sauce and Garnish

  • 2 tablespoons sweet chili sauce
  • 1 tablespoon sesame seeds

Instructions

  1. Cook the Sushi Rice: Rinse 1 cup of sushi rice under cold water until the water runs clear. Cook it according to the package instructions, typically using a rice cooker or stovetop method. Once cooked, allow the rice to cool slightly to a warm rather than hot temperature for assembling.
  2. Prepare the Bowl Base: Place the cooked sushi rice into your serving bowl, spreading it evenly to form the base of your sushi bowl.
  3. Add the Toppings: Arrange 6-8 cooked shrimp evenly over the sushi rice along with 1/2 cup diced or sliced cucumber and 1/2 cup diced ripe mango to add freshness and sweetness.
  4. Drizzle the Sauce: Spoon 2 tablespoons of sweet chili sauce over the ingredients to introduce a spicy-sweet flavor that complements the shrimp and fruit.
  5. Garnish and Serve: Sprinkle 1 tablespoon of sesame seeds on top for a nutty crunch. Serve the bowl immediately to enjoy the fresh, vibrant flavors at their best.

Notes

  • Use pre-cooked shrimp for convenience and time-saving.
  • For extra flavor, add a splash of soy sauce or a sprinkle of sliced green onions.
  • Sushi rice can be seasoned with rice vinegar for an authentic taste.
  • Adjust the amount of sweet chili sauce to your preferred spice level.
  • Serve immediately to maintain the texture and freshness of the ingredients.
