Delightful bite-sized sushi-inspired cups filled with fresh veggies and a creamy spicy mayo.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup sushi rice, rinsed
  • 1 1/2 cups water
  • 1/2 cup finely chopped veggies of your choice
  • 1/4 cup steamed mukimame (shelled edamame)
  • 1/4 cup diced avocado (about 1/2 small avocado)
  • 1 tablespoon sauce of your choice (soy sauce, tamari, or coconut aminos)
  • 1/4 cup mayonnaise
  • 1 teaspoon Sriracha sauce (adjust to taste)
  • 1 teaspoon coconut aminos or soy sauce
  • 1 teaspoon honey
  • 1/2 teaspoon sesame oil
  • Black sesame seeds (for garnish)

Instructions

  1. In a medium pot, combine the rinsed rice and water. Bring to a boil over high heat. Once boiling, reduce the heat to low, cover, and simmer for 20 minutes or until the rice is cooked and the water is absorbed. Remove from heat and let it cool slightly.
  2. Press about 2 heaping tablespoons of the cooked rice into each cup of a muffin tin. Make sure to press down firmly to compact the rice. Place the muffin tin in the fridge and chill for 20 minutes, allowing the rice cups to set.
  3. In a mixing bowl, combine your chopped veggies, steamed edamame, diced avocado, and your choice of coconut aminos or soy sauce. Mix well to combine the flavors harmoniously.
  4. In another bowl, whisk together all the mayo ingredients: mayonnaise, Sriracha sauce, coconut aminos or soy sauce, honey, and sesame oil. Adjust the Sriracha sauce to your desired level of spiciness.
  5. Remove the rice cups from the fridge. Spoon a heaping tablespoon of the veggie filling over each rice cup, bringing color and texture to your creation.
  6. Drizzle the spicy mayo generously over the top of the veggies, allowing it to seep into the ingredients, enhancing every bite.
  7. Sprinkle black sesame seeds over the top for an elegant garnish, adding a touch of crunch and visual appeal.

Notes

Store any leftover Sushi Cups in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. For best results, keep the spicy mayo separate until ready to enjoy.
