Description

Delightful sushi cups filled with vibrant veggies, creamy avocado, and a zesty spicy mayo, perfect for gatherings or weeknight meals.


Ingredients

  • 1 cup sushi rice, rinsed
  • 1 1/2 cups water
  • 1/2 cup finely chopped veggies of your choice
  • 1/4 cup steamed mukimame (shelled edamame)
  • 1/4 cup diced avocado (approximately half a small avocado)
  • 1 tablespoon sauce of your choice (soy sauce, tamari, or coconut aminos)
  • 1/4 cup mayonnaise
  • 1 teaspoon Sriracha sauce (adjust according to your spice preference)
  • 1 teaspoon coconut aminos or soy sauce
  • 1 teaspoon honey
  • 1/2 teaspoon sesame oil
  • Black sesame seeds for garnish


Instructions

  1. Rinse the sushi rice thoroughly to remove excess starch.
  2. Combine rinsed rice with 1 1/2 cups water in a medium pot.
  3. Bring the mixture to a boil over high heat.
  4. Reduce heat to low, cover, and let simmer for 20 minutes.
  5. Remove from heat and let the rice cool slightly.
  6. Chop your chosen vegetables finely and combine in a mixing bowl with steamed mukimame and diced avocado.
  7. Press about 2 heaping tablespoons of rice into each cup of a muffin tin.
  8. Refrigerate the muffin tin for 20 minutes to set the rice.
  9. Assemble by spooning a tablespoon of the veggie mixture over each rice cup.
  10. Whisk together the mayonnaise, Sriracha, coconut aminos, honey, and sesame oil in a bowl to create spicy mayo.
  11. Drizzle the spicy mayo over the veggie filling.
  12. Garnish with black sesame seeds before serving.

Notes

Rinse the rice thoroughly to avoid stickiness. Press the rice firmly in the muffin tin for best results.
