There are so many other delicious toppings you can include. For serving: Soy sauce, sesame oil, wasabi, and toasted sesame seeds are great additions for flavor and to finish off the bowls.It’s a sweet and tangy mayo based condiment that gets drizzled over the top. Yum Yum Sauce: My homemade Yum Yum Sauce is what takes the bowls from 10 to 100.

Seaweed: The Nori snack packs are perfect for these bowls, but you can buy full sheets if you can’t find them. Vegetables: We add carrots, English cucumber, and avocado to our bowls. But you can totally use real crab meat, of course. And since it’s so much cheaper, that’s what I use for these bowls. That’s actually what’s in a California Roll. Imitation crab: My family loves imitation crab (which is actually fish that’s been shaped and sort of flavored to seem like crab.) We think it’s kind of sweet. It can be found near all the other vinegars in most common grocery stores. It’s folded into the cooked rice to give it awesome flavor. Seasoned rice vinegar: This vinegar is made with added salt and sugar. Koshihikari, Botan, Nishiki are all popular brands, but another brand is fine as long as it’s sushi rice. Sushi Rice: Calrose sushi rice is a specific type of Japanese short grain rice, which becomes sticky as it cooks. (Scroll below to the printable recipe card for details and measurements.) But we usually go basic when making these at home. We love them with tuna, salmon, and real crab, too. You can definitely play with the ingredients, though, to suit your tastes, budget, and access to higher end ingredients. They’re made with sweet and tangy sushi rice, fake crab meat, and fresh crunchy vegetables. The recipe we’re sharing today is basically a deconstructed California Roll, minus the rolling, and pretty mush the least expensive variety of sushi. Bonus, everyone can build their own, so it’s still a fun thing to do with the family or a group of friends.
They’re not elaborate like the restaurant rolls, but they have all of our favorite ingredients thanks to common grocery store items and my homemade Yum Yum Sauce.
So at least a few times a month I make Sushi Bowls at home. Now the idea of doing any of that is a big “nope!” We just frequent our neighborhood sushi joint to get our California roll fix instead.īut that gets pricey.
Boy, those were fun! Almost another lifetime ago, though – I was single, childless, had a ton of energy, and not a whole lot of responsibility. Years ago I lived near the most incredible fresh seafood market where I used to pre-order soft shell crab and sashimi grade fish, so I could host sushi making parties. If you love sushi rolls, but not the cost of eating out, try making these sushi bowls instead – all the same flavors, but a fraction of the price, and super easy to make for a weekday lunch or dinner! All the ingredients you love about California Rolls, but without the rolling, deconstructed into a yummy and easy Sushi Bowl!
