Vegetarian Sushi Bowl
This Vegetarian Sushi Bowl recipe is packed with flavor and incredibly versatile.
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.

- 1 tablespoon salt

Instructions
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- Soy Marinated Cucumber: Dice cucumber and place in a small bowl and cover with soy sauce. Let marinate, stirring frequently.
- 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.
- 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.
- Dressed Corn: Once the corn has cooled, cut corn from the cob and toss with 1 teaspoon kewpie mayo and 1 teaspoon sriracha.
- 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.
