Vegan Dynamite Sushi Bowls
Ingredients
- Sushi Rice
- 1 cup 150 g sushi rice
- 1 cup + 2 tbsp - 270 ml water
- 1 tbsp 15 ml rice vinegar
- ½ tsp salt
- 2 tsp 8 g sugar
- Eel Sauce Marinade
- ⅓ cup 80 ml tamari
- 6 cloves minced garlic
- 1½ tbsp 22 ml sesame oil
- 1 tbsp 12 g organic sugar
- 1½ tsp 8 g ginger, minced
- Dash of sriracha - ¼–½ tsp
- Toppings
- 8 oz 227 g king oyster mushrooms (also called king trumpet mushrooms)
- 3 small Persian cucumbers - or 1 large cucumber
- ½ watermelon radish
- Green onions
- 1 avocado
- Dynamite Sauce
- ¼ cup 60 ml vegan mayo
- 2 tsp 10 ml sriracha
- ¼ tsp sesame oil
- For Serving
- Pickled ginger
- Black sesame seeds
Instructions
- Cook the sushi rice with the water in a rice cooker. When the rice is nearly finished, stir in the rice vinegar, salt and sugar. Mix well, fluffing the rice with a fork. When the rice cooker turns off, remove the lid to let the rice cool a bit.
- Combine the marinade ingredients in a small bowl. Slice the stems of the mushrooms into ½- to ¾-inch (13- to 19-mm) rounds, like scallops. Roughly chop the caps until they resemble crab meat. Add the mushrooms to the marinade, stir to coat, and set aside for 5 minutes.
- Slice the cucumbers in half, then cut them into ½-inch (13-mm) pieces. Slice the watermelon radish into thin pieces.
- Put a nonstick pan over medium-high heat. Transfer the mushrooms to the pan with a slotted spoon and reserve the marinade. Try to keep the stems on one side of the pan and the tops on the other. Cook the stems to a deep golden brown, about 3 minutes on each side. Cook the tops for 5 to 6 minutes, stirring occasionally.
- Chop the green onions. Slice the avocado. Mix the mayo with the sriracha and sesame oil in a bowl. Add the chopped mushroom tops to the mayo mixture and mix well to make the vegan dynamite.
- Divide the rice among 2 or 3 bowls and top each with a generous scoop of the dynamite mixture. Arrange the scalloped mushrooms, avocado, cucumber slices, green onions and watermelon radish on top. Finish with a drizzle of eel sauce, pickled ginger and black sesame seeds.
