Step-by-Step Instructions for Sushi Cups
- In a medium pot, combine 1 cup of rinsed sushi rice and 1 ¼ cups of water. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat, then reduce to low, cover, and simmer for 20 minutes. Remove from heat and let sit, covered, for 10 minutes.
- Transfer the cooked sushi rice into a large bowl to cool slightly. Gently fluff with a fork to release steam and stop the cooking process.
- Using a muffin tin, press 2 heaping tablespoons of the cooled sushi rice into each cup, compacting them well. Create a slight indentation in the center and chill for at least 20 minutes.
- In a mixing bowl, combine finely chopped veggies with steamed mukimame and diced avocado. Add your sauce of choice, stirring gently to coat.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together ¼ cup of mayonnaise, 1 tablespoon of Sriracha, 1 teaspoon of honey, 1 teaspoon of coconut aminos, and ½ teaspoon of sesame oil. Adjust heat level if necessary.
- Fill each chilled rice cup with the veggie mixture, pressing down gently. Drizzle spicy mayo on top and optionally sprinkle with black sesame seeds.
- Arrange on a serving platter and enjoy these sushi cups as a unique appetizer or quick lunch.
