Description
A delicious and easy-to-make Teriyaki Shrimp Sushi Bowl that combines succulent shrimp with fresh vegetables and sushi rice, all drizzled with a homemade teriyaki sauce.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 pound large shrimp, peeled and deveined
- 1 cup sushi rice
- 2 cups water
- 1/4 cup soy sauce
- 1/4 cup honey
- 2 tablespoons rice vinegar
- 1 tablespoon sesame oil
- 1 avocado, sliced
- 1 cup cucumber, thinly sliced
- 1/2 cup shredded carrots
- 1/4 cup green onions, chopped
- 1 tablespoon sesame seeds
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Rinse the sushi rice under cold water until the water runs clear. Combine the rice and water in a medium saucepan and bring to a boil. Once boiling, reduce the heat to low, cover, and simmer for 18-20 minutes until the rice is tender and water is absorbed. Remove from heat and let it sit, covered, for 10 minutes.
- While the rice is cooking, prepare the teriyaki sauce by combining soy sauce, honey, rice vinegar, and sesame oil in a small saucepan. Bring to a simmer over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until the sauce thickens slightly, about 5-7 minutes. Remove from heat and set aside.
- In a large skillet over medium-high heat, add the shrimp. Season with salt and pepper and cook for 2-3 minutes on each side until they turn pink and opaque. Pour half of the teriyaki sauce over the shrimp and toss to coat. Remove from heat.
- To assemble the bowls, divide the cooked sushi rice among four bowls. Top each bowl with the teriyaki shrimp, avocado slices, cucumber, shredded carrots, and green onions.
- Drizzle the remaining teriyaki sauce over the bowls and sprinkle with sesame seeds. Serve immediately.
Notes
- For a vegetarian option, substitute shrimp with tofu or tempeh and use a plant-based teriyaki sauce.
- Add pickled ginger or wasabi for an extra kick of flavor.
