Ingredients

  • 1 cup sushi rice 1 cup water 1 tablespoon rice vinegar 1 teaspoon sugar 1/2 teaspoon salt 1 cup shelled edamame, cooked and seasoned with a pinch of salt 1 small cucumber, thinly sliced 1 medium carrot, julienned 1 avocado, halved, pitted, peeled, and sliced 1/4 cup fresh cilantro leaves 2 tablespoons lemon juice 1 teaspoon grated ginger 1 tablespoon olive oil

Instructions

  1. In a medium saucepan, combine the sushi rice and water. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low, cover, and cook until the rice is tender and has absorbed all of the water, about 20 minutes. Set aside.
  2. In a small bowl, whisk together the vinegar, sugar, and salt. Once the rice is cooked, transfer it to a large mixing bowl and gently fold in the vinegar mixture. Let the rice cool slightly.
  3. In a small bowl, whisk together the lemon juice, grated ginger, olive oil, and a pinch of salt until emulsified. Set aside.
  4. To assemble the bowls, divide the seasoned sushi rice among two bowls. Top each with half of the edamame, cucumber, carrot, avocado, and cilantro leaves. Drizzle the lemon ginger dressing over the ingredients in each bowl and serve immediately.
