Sushi bowls are PACKED with yummy ingredients, but when ordering from a restaurant I often wonder if this "healthy" option is actually properly portioned to be healthy for me. Below is my recipe for this homemade salmon sushi bowl that's just as good as any restaurant, cheaper, and in line with how I need to be eating for my fitness goals!*
RECIPE:
Ingredients:*
1/2 c. brown rice
1 c. diced cucumber
1/2 c. edamame
1/2 c. shredded carrots
1/4 c. red onion
2.5 oz smoked salmon
2 tsp. sesame seeds
2 tbsp. green onion
1 tbsp. ponzu sauce
1 tbsp low sodium soy sauce
1 tbsp. siracha mayo
Instructions:
1) Cook rice.
-->To make this step quick and easy, I use the Uncle Ben's microwaveable rice so it's ready in 90 seconds.
2) Cook edamame.
--> I found edamame in the frozen section at Wal-Mart. It's microwaveable, and after it cooled I shelled the whole package at once so the edamame would be ready to go when I made my next bowl.
3) Dice cucumber.
--> 1 c. = half a cucumber
4) Cut smoked salmon into bite sized pieces. Place in a bowl, add ponzu sauce, soy sauce, sesame seeds, and green onions. Stir together until salmon is covered.
5) Place cooked rice at the bottom of a bowl. Add cucumber, edamame, carrots, and red onion. Add the salmon mixture to the top.
6) Lightly dress with siracha mayo
7) Enjoy!
