California Sushi Bowl

This Sushi Bowl is so easy to make and very delicious! I love it so much that my husband and I told ourselves, no more sushi rolls for us. We love how easy it is to eat because everything is in one bowl including the soy sauce. So easy to prepare too! Just cook the rice, prepare the topping by tossing together in a large bowl then season with furikake. Once the rice is cooked, season with sweet vinegar sauce then arrange in a bowl, add the toppings, season with furikake, drizzle with soy sauce-vinegar sauce the top with mayonnaise and hot sauce. Voila! You have California Sushi Bowl. 

I am not a fan of wasabe so I used sriracha instead. Aside from Sushi Bake that I made a couple of days ago, this is another easy way to make and eat California Sushi. ​
​I urge you to try this recipe. Because once you do, you will say the same thing my husband and I told ourselves. I will never eat Sushi Rolls anymore and make this bowl instead.
