Ingredients

Sushi Rice

250 g short-grain rice

480 ml water

30 ml rice vinegar

12 g sugar

5 g salt

Spicy Shrimp

225 g cooked shrimp, peeled and deveined

45 g mayonnaise

15 ml sriracha sauce

For Assembly

150 g diced avocado

150 g diced cucumber

16 g furikake seasoning

15 ml lime juice

Instructions

  • Prepare the Sushi Rice:

    • Rinse the short-grain rice under cold water until the water runs clear. Drain well.

    • In a medium saucepan, combine rice and water. Bring to a boil, then cover and reduce heat to low. Let simmer for 18-20 minutes, or until the rice is tender and water is absorbed.

    • Remove from heat and let it sit, covered, for 10 minutes.

    • In a small bowl, mix rice vinegar, sugar, and salt until dissolved. Fold this into the rice and allow it to cool to room temperature.

  • Make the Spicy Shrimp:

    • In a bowl, mix cooked shrimp, mayonnaise, and sriracha sauce until the shrimp is evenly coated.

  • Assemble the Sushi Stacks:

    • Using a round mold or small glass, layer the ingredients in this order:

      1. Sushi rice, pressed lightly into the mold.

      2. Spicy shrimp mixture.

      3. Diced avocado and cucumber.

    • Carefully lift the mold to reveal the stacked layers.

  • Finish and Garnish:

    • Sprinkle furikake seasoning over each stack.

    • Drizzle with lime juice and serve immediately. Optionally, chill for a short time before serving.

Notes

For a different protein, swap shrimp with tuna or salmon.

Add more texture with crunchy tempura flakes on top.

Toss avocado with lime juice to prevent browning.
