Ingredients
For the rice
- 250 g short-grain rice Rinsed until water is clear
- 480 ml water For cooking the rice
- 30 ml rice vinegar For seasoning the rice
- 12 g sugar To sweeten the vinegar
- 5 g salt For flavoring
For the topping
- 225 g cooked shrimp, peeled and deveined
- 45 g mayonnaise For the spicy shrimp mixture
- 15 ml sriracha sauce Adjust to taste
- 150 g diced avocado
- 150 g diced cucumber
- 16 g furikake For garnish
- 15 ml lime juice For drizzling before serving
Instructions
Preparation
- Rinse the short-grain rice under cold water until the rinsing water is clear.
- Combine the rice with water in a rice cooker or pot. Cook it according to rice cooker instructions. If using the stove, bring to a boil, reduce to low heat, cover, and simmer for 15–20 minutes until the rice is tender and the water is absorbed.
- In a small bowl, whisk together rice vinegar, sugar, and salt until dissolved.
- Transfer the cooked rice to a large bowl. Evenly drizzle the vinegar mixture over the rice and gently fold using a paddle or spatula. Allow the seasoned rice to cool to room temperature.
- In a separate bowl, combine cooked shrimp with mayonnaise and sriracha sauce. Stir until the shrimp are thoroughly coated.
Assembly
- Using individual molds or small bowls, create layers starting with the seasoned rice. Gently press the rice to compact it.
- Add a layer of diced avocado, followed by diced cucumber. Top with the spicy shrimp mixture.
- Apply gentle pressure on the filled molds to set the stacks. Carefully remove the molds to reveal structured stacks.
- Garnish each stack with furikake and drizzle with lime juice before serving.
Notes
Make sure your rice is cooled to room temperature before assembling; this helps avoid mushy layers. Experiment with different toppings like sesame seeds, green onions, or pickled ginger for added flavor. Use fresh ingredients for the best taste.
