I remember the first time I tried sushi—I loved it, but rolling it at home felt like a chore. That’s when I discovered sushi bowls! Same delicious taste, but so much easier. These California Roll Sushi Bowls are fresh, light, and full of that classic flavor we all love. Perfect for lunch or dinner, and a hit with the whole family!
For the Bowl:
2 cups cooked sushi rice (or regular white rice)
1 cup imitation crab, shredded
1 avocado, diced
1 cucumber, diced
1 sheet nori (seaweed), cut into thin strips
1 tablespoon sesame seeds
Optional: pickled ginger, edamame, or sliced radish
For the Sauce:
2 tablespoons mayo
1 tablespoon sriracha (adjust to taste)
1 teaspoon soy sauce
Optional: drizzle of unagi sauce or extra soy on top
Prepare rice and let it cool slightly.
In a small bowl, mix mayo, sriracha, and soy sauce to make your spicy drizzle.
Assemble your bowl: start with rice, then layer crab, avocado, cucumber, and any extras.
Drizzle sauce over the top, sprinkle with sesame seeds and seaweed.
Serve with chopsticks or a spoon—and enjoy every bite!
Use real crab or shrimp for a fancier twist.
Make it low-carb with cauliflower rice.
Meal-prep friendly! Just keep the avocado and sauce separate until serving.
