No-Bake Sushi Bowls 🍣
Craving sushi but don't want to make sushi? These No-Bake Sushi Bowls give you all the flavors of a spicy sushi roll without the rolling, special equipment, or complicated preparation. 🍣I made these bowls with a small amount of real sushi rice, mashed avocado, spicy fish, sriracha mayo, jalapeño, and sesame seeds. Instead of using a rice substitute, I used just ½ cup of dry sushi rice for four servings, keeping the rice portion small while still getting the taste and texture of actual sushi rice.I also served mine with individual roasted seaweed snacks. Break off a piece, scoop up the layers, and you've basically got a little sushi bite without having to make a roll.
Ingredients
- 1/2 cup Dry Sushi Rice
- 8 oz Cooked Fish

Instructions
- Cook the Rice: Prepare ½ cup dry sushi rice according to the package directions.
- Season the Rice: While the rice is still warm, stir in the rice vinegar, salt, and monk fruit sweetener. Allow the rice to cool.

Notes
The type of cooked fish used is completely flexible. I used smoked fish, but smoked fish isn't required. Salmon, tuna, trout, or another cooked fish can work well.
For a vegetarian or vegan version, replace the fish with tofu, tempeh, or additional vegetables. Use plant-based mayonnaise for a vegan version.
