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.
