Layered sushi bowls with rice, crab, avocado, and cucumber. Easy, fresh, and satisfying in just 30 minutes.

# Ingredients List:

→ Sushi Rice

01 - 1 cup short-grain sushi rice
02 - 1.5 cups water
03 - 3 tablespoons rice vinegar
04 - 2 tablespoons sugar
05 - 1 teaspoon salt

→ Toppings

06 - 115 grams imitation crab meat or real crab
07 - 1 medium cucumber, sliced
08 - 1 ripe avocado, diced

→ To Serve

09 - 2 tablespoons low-sodium soy sauce
10 - Sriracha, to taste (optional)

# How to Make It:

01 - Rinse short-grain sushi rice under cold running water until the water runs clear to remove excess starch.
02 - Combine rinsed rice and water in a saucepan. Cook according to package instructions until tender.
03 - Transfer hot rice to a large bowl. Gently fold in rice vinegar, sugar, and salt while the rice is still warm to distribute the seasoning evenly.
04 - Slice cucumber into thin rounds and dice the ripe avocado. Set both aside.
05 - Divide seasoned sushi rice between serving bowls. Top with sliced cucumber, diced avocado, and crab meat.
06 - Drizzle each bowl with low-sodium soy sauce and add Sriracha to taste, if desired. Serve immediately for optimal freshness.

# Extra Tips:

01 - For best results, let the seasoned rice cool slightly before assembling bowls to prevent avocado from over-softening.
