Stacked Sushi Salad
All the flavors of sushi without having to roll it!
Equipment
- Instant Pot, but not needed
Ingredients
Spicy Asian Mayonnaise
- 4 tbsp mayonnaise
- 2 tsp Asian chili paste or to taste
- 1 tsp lite soy sauce or to taste
Short-grained Brown Rice
- 2 ¾ cups water
- 2 cups short grain brown rice (this makes more rice than needed for this recipe, but I use it in different recipes or freeze it for later)
- 3 tbsp seasoned rice vinegar
- 1 tbsp agave syrup or any natural sweetener
- 1 tsp salt
Favorite Sushi Ingredients
- cucumber, radish, shrimp, goat cheese, avocado or your favorite sushi ingredients
Instructions
Spicy Asian Mayonnaise
- Mix all ingredients well and set aside. I often make it the day before.
Short grained Brown Rice
- If using the Instant Pot: put rice, water and salt into pot. Set on manual for 20 minutes and then let it natural release for 20 minutes. Fluff with fork and let cool down for 20 minutes then add the rice vinegar and agave. Put it in a plastic bag and lay it flat or spread it out on a plate, cover and place it in the refrigerator till cold. I often do this the day before, at the same time as the spicy mayo. If you are NOT using the Instant Pot: follow the directions on the bag and then follow the rest of the recipe.
Favorite Sushi Ingredients
- Slice your veggies extra thin (I grate some hard ingredients like carrots or radish). Chop shrimp and avocado in uniform sizes.
Making the Stack
- Into a container with both ends open: place rice in first and pack down. Then layer your favorite ingredients in the order you want them....I use avocado last when I use it so I don't have to mash it up..Into a container with one end open: load the avocado end 1st.... all of your favorite ingredients next and then END with the rice on top ( so when you "flip it" the rice is on the bottom. Add sauce when flipped.
- CONTAINER COUNTS: Measure your rice base to determine your yellow containers worth ...mine is usually 1Y ...... count all of your ingredients in their containers as you use them..... mine looks like 1Y ½G ½R ½B with 1Orange of the sauce.
