Instrucciones
- 1
Rinse the Short-Grain Sushi Rice in a Sieve under ^[cold running water], gently stirring with your hand, until the water runs almost completely clear — about 1–2 minutes. This removes excess starch and prevents gummy rice.
- 2
Add the rinsed Short-Grain Sushi Rice and Water to a Saucepan. Bring to a boil over ^[high heat], then immediately reduce to ^[the lowest possible heat], cover tightly with a lid, and cook for 15 minutes. Do not lift the lid during this time.
- 3
Remove from heat and let the Short-Grain Sushi Rice steam, still covered, for 10 minutes. Meanwhile, whisk together the Rice Vinegar, Granulated Sugar, and Kosher Salt in a Mixing Bowl until the Granulated Sugar dissolves.
- 4
Transfer the Short-Grain Sushi Rice to a large Mixing Bowl (ideally wooden). Drizzle the vinegar mixture over the Short-Grain Sushi Rice and fold it in gently using a Rice Paddle or Spatula with a cutting motion — don't stir or mash. Fan the Short-Grain Sushi Rice as you fold to help it cool quickly and become glossy. Let cool to room temperature.
- 5
In a Mixing Bowl, whisk together the Soy Sauce, Sesame Oil, Rice Vinegar, Ginger, and Honey until combined.
- 6
Add the cubed Sushi-Grade Ahi Tuna, sliced Green Onions, and Sesame Seeds to the Mixing Bowl. Gently fold everything together until the Sushi-Grade Ahi Tuna is evenly coated. Cover and refrigerate for at least 10 minutes, but no more than 30 minutes — over-marinating will start to 'cook' the fish.
- 7
In a Mixing Bowl, whisk together the Mayonnaise, Sriracha, Sesame Oil, and Lime Juice until smooth. Taste and adjust the Sriracha level to your preference. Transfer to a squeeze bottle or Ziploc Bag with the corner snipped for easy drizzling.
- 8
Prepare all toppings: slice the Avocado and Cucumber, thaw the Shelled Edamame if needed, shred the Carrots, and slice the Green Onions and Nori Sheets. Arrange each topping in small separate Mixing Bowl for easy bowl-building.
- 9
To assemble each bowl: scoop about 1 cup of seasoned Short-Grain Sushi Rice into a wide Mixing Bowl as the base. Arrange a generous portion of marinated Sushi-Grade Ahi Tuna in the center. Fan the Avocado slices to one side, then add Cucumber, Shelled Edamame, and shredded Carrots in separate sections around the bowl. Top with Pickled Ginger and Nori Sheets if using.
- 10
Drizzle the spicy Mayonnaise generously over the top. Sprinkle with Sesame Seeds, Furikake Seasoning (if using), and extra Green Onions. Serve immediately.
