Instructions

  1. Rinse 1 cup (190g) sushi rice until the water runs clear. Cook according to package instructions. Once cooked, season with 2 tbsp (30ml) rice vinegar, 1 tsp sugar, and 1/2 tsp salt. Let cool.
  2. If not already cooked, boil or sauté the shrimp until pink and opaque. Let cool, then chop into bite-sized pieces.

  4. Slice the cucumber and avocado thinly. Cut nori sheets into squares or strips if using.
  5. Layer the ingredients in a round mold or measuring cup. Start with a layer of sushi rice, followed by cucumber, shrimp, avocado, and a drizzle of sriracha mayo. Repeat layers if desired.
  6. Carefully remove the mold and sprinkle with sesame seeds, green onions, and a drizzle of soy sauce.
  7. Serve immediately and enjoy these gorgeous sushi stacks while they’re fresh!

Notes

Rinse the sushi rice thoroughly to remove excess starch for the perfect sticky texture. Assemble the stacks just before serving to keep the ingredients fresh. Adjust the spice level of the sriracha mayo to your preference.
