Techniques for a perfect Vegetarian Sushi Bowl

  • Chill the rice. It doesn’t need to be cold, but hot rice will wilt your lettuce and melt your mayo. Sticking it in the fridge for a few minutes takes care of this issue. 
  • Jammy eggs. Perfectly jammy eggs are delicious in a sushi bowl. Make sure to set the timer so you don’t overcook them. I use large eggs straight from the fridge, so if yours are different you’ll need to adjust. 
  • Togarashi seasoning adds the extra component that makes this taste like it’s straight from your favorite sushi bowl place.

Ingredients

  • 2 cups baby lettuce (spring greens)
  • 1 1/2 cups uncooked sushi rice, rinsed until water runs clear
  • 4 eggs
  • 1 carrot
  • 1 ear corn, shucked
  • 1 baby cucumber
  • 1/4 of a head of red cabbage
  • 1 green onion, sliced thinly
  • 1 avocado, sliced thinly
  • 1 cup soy sauce, plus more for serving
  • 1 teaspoon sriracha, plus more for serving
  • 1 teaspoon kewpie mayo, plus more for serving
  • 2 tablespoons mirin
  • 1 tablespoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon vegetable oil
  • Togarashi seasoning
  • Sriracha
  • Kewpie mayo

Instructions

    1. Sushi rice: In a lidded pot, bring rinsed rice and 2 cups water to a boil over high heat. Immediately when steam escapes from the lid, remove from heat for 5 minutes. After 5 minutes, return to the burner and simmer on low heat until water is absorbed, about 10 minutes. Once cooked, remove from heat and gently stir in 1 tablespoon mirin. Remove the rice from the pot and place in a covered bowl in the refrigerator to cool.
    2. Soft boiled eggs: Add water high enough to cover eggs to a small pot and bring to a boil. Add four eggs to the pot and boil for 7 minutes. Use a slotted spoon to remove the eggs from the pot and put them in a medium bowl. Run tap water over them until they are cooled enough to handle. Peel the eggs and place in a plastic bag with 2 tablespoons soy sauce and one tablespoon mirin to marinate until ready to serve, turning frequently.
    3. Charred Corn: Heat a skillet over medium-high heat. Brush corn with vegetable oil. Place corn in skillet turning frequently until lightly charred on all sides. Remove from heat and let cool.
    4. Soy Marinated Cucumber: Dice cucumber and place in a small bowl and cover with soy sauce. Let marinate, stirring frequently.
    5. Pickled carrot: Slice carrot into ribbons with a vegetable peeler. Place into a medium bowl with 1/4 cup rice vinegar and 1 cup water. Microwave for 45 seconds. Let marinate while you prepare the rest of the meal. Before serving, drain and pat dry.
    6. Pickled Cabbage: Slice cabbage thinly. Place into a medium bowl with 1/4 cup rice vinegar, 1 tablespoon salt, 1 tablespoon soy sauce, and 1 cup water. Microwave for 45 seconds. Let marinate while you prepare the rest of the meal. Before serving, drain and pat dry.
    7. Dressed Corn: Once the corn has cooled, cut corn from the cob and toss with 1 teaspoon kewpie mayo and 1 teaspoon sriracha.
    8. To Serve: Spoon rice into a bowl. Tuck some lettuce in next to the rice. Arrange eggs and vegetables on top of rice. Serve with soy sauce, kewpie mayo, sriracha sauce, and togarashi seasoning on the side.
