Sushi is one of my favorite foods, but I don’t eat it often because it’s quite spendy.

Fortunately, I’ve found other ways to get my sushi fix without spending $10.00 to $15.00 per roll at a restaurant: I either make it myself at home, or take the easy route and put all of my sushi ingredients in a bowl.

The bowl version is not only delicious – it’s extremely easy to make.

Aside from cooking the rice, you can get dinner on the table in about 10 to 15 minutes. (I buy Trader Joe’s organic brown rice, which takes 3 minutes to prepare in the microwave.)

About The Recipe

This recipe couldn’t be easier to make.

All of your favorite sushi ingredients are placed on top of a bowl of rice:

Spicy tuna (I added spicy mayonnaise to canned tuna – and it was delicious. While you could certainly use raw fish for this bowl, there’s absolutely nothing wrong with canned!)

Avocado

Cucumbers

Carrots

Edamame

Black sesame seeds

Spicy mayonnaise

Customize your bowl: Try adding imitation crab, smoked salmon or another type of fish. Add different vegetables, such as sugar snap peas, radish or roasted Japanese sweet potato. Top with pickled ginger, scallions, seaweed and yum yum sauce. The sky is the limit!

Looking for a non-fish sushi bowl? Substitute tofu for fish, or keep it strictly veggie-based.

Whole30 and Paleo variation: Omit the rice. Add more veggies and protein. Serve on top of a bed of spinach or romaine.
