Let's just call it delish bowl. I've seen these before on
Tastespotting and thought how wonderful and colorful. What a way to brighten up the senses with all these colors beaming in front of you. I do eat a lot of sushi
here and am not the greatest at creating that perfect roll. So I found this much easier. Plus you can add whatever you fancy, no matter the size. Right now I'm going through an avocado craving--so far lasting now into two weeks, and as I type this I want to make another sushi bowl with fresh uni. Oh that sounds so good. Finding fresh uni on cape cod is hard, you wouldn't think so since cape cod is
on the ocean. But it is. The last place I had really fresh and tasty uni was in
NYC. What would you add to your sushi bowl? I love to hear what type of sushi others love-I'm always up for trying new sushi.
How to assemble this sushi bowl?
sticky rice studded with toasted seseame seeds
sliced avocados
finely shredded carrots
raw salmon (or hamachi, uni mmm uni!)
pickled ginger (I ate way more ginger that what is shown)
wasabi
(not pictured soy sauce and chopsticks)
feel free to add whatever you fancy
I'm on
facebook! Come join my
vanilla sugar fan club won't you?
That looks very colorful and healthy, it's lovely. I would add seasoned crab and slices of mango to mine. They would also probably be great additions to this bowl already.
ReplyDeletehere you go - the best price I have seen - http://www.catalinaop.com/Sea_Urchin_Uni_s/70.htm
ReplyDeleteI have yet to try sushi. I was actually just talking to a buddy of mine about it, he insists I'll like it. Heh, when I get it for the first time I'll be sure to take pictures.
ReplyDeleteI'd add some julienned nori (seaweed) strips, for color and crunch, because I always have some nori in my pantry.
ReplyDeletethis looks fantastic!!
ReplyDeleteNice colors, composition... but is that smoked salmon? If it is, you can't call it sushi, bowl or no bowl ;)
ReplyDeleteBtw, I think the reason why you can't get Uni in Cape Caaaaad is because the water is too cold.
Where I grew up (Indonesia), I used to see Uni and sea cucumber while swimming around. Uni always scares me, because if you happen to step on it (they tend to gather by shoreline) your feet will get swollen, like being stung by 50 bees...
I want that! Right now!!! Nice one, Dawn. I'd add some tempura shrimp and maybe some tempura sweet potato.
ReplyDeleteNice!! Deconstructed sushi. Love it. It's been a while since I've had myself some sushi. I want some now.
ReplyDeleteI agree, delish bowl. How beautiful, easy and healthy!
ReplyDeletegotta add sesame seeds, for the pop!
ReplyDeleteLooks great!! I love Japanese food and sushi is my favourite part of the Japanese food experience. How about adding some toasted panko crumbs on top for some crunch? Black sesame seeds would look pretty too. I must give uni a try soon!
ReplyDeleteYou're sushi obsessed. You should move to the left side because ours can't be beat!
ReplyDeletemy avocado craving is going on about two years now. man, those creamy green things are tasty.
ReplyDeletethis is a great idea for those of us who are roll-challenged. :)
I haven't tried sushi at home either for the same reasons but this bowl looks easy enough for me!
ReplyDeleteThis is the perfect sushi for a lazyass like myself!!!!
ReplyDeleteUmm, not a sushi fan, probably because I don't really like much fish. But the bowl looks awfully pretty!
ReplyDeleteI too am on an avocado craze. I just can't get enough!
ReplyDeleteThat bowl is so colorful! Fabulous photo. It's embarrassing to admit, but I don't like sushi. I want to like it because I love seafood, but the texture gets to me every time.
ReplyDeleteSo pretty! What a great meal- love the avocado. I ate a ton of avocado this week= amazing! I hope to have a post up tonight!
ReplyDeletethat looks pretty incredible! i'm new on the sushi train, so i'm getting ideas from everyone else :)
ReplyDeletei'm not on facebook... holding out! there are a few tri's in hyannis, i'm thinking i might try to do one, but I might be looking for a place to stay ;)
A little drizzle of sesame oil, sriracha, and lots of wasabi would be great. Plus, there needs to be a little tuna and crab. Just a little!
ReplyDeleteOh, yes! If I can get sushi w/o mutilating a poor sheet of nori, then I'll jump in the bowl! This looks wonderful - where do you get your raw salmon? Being so far from either coast, I'm not sure about finding good quality (much less at a reasonable price). But then again, I only need a bit as this has so much other good stuff, too!
ReplyDeleteSomeone brought one of these to our Olympics party & it was so good. I would add a little roe & ell to mine.
ReplyDeleteNicely done. It looks tasty, colorful and healthy.
ReplyDeleteHey girly! Weather was sort of cloudy most of the time we were there, but warm!
ReplyDeleteI love sushi so I know I will love this big bowl of sushi! Nice one!
ReplyDeleteGenius idea :)
ReplyDeletelooks great! i always think about ordering this in sushi restaurants - and i can just make them at home....duh!
ReplyDeleteDawn- so glad to see this. I have never seen them on Tastespotting (whats up with that since I am always on there drooling). This is such a great idea. I lvoe sushi and sometimes I just dont feel like rolling it. Perfect!
ReplyDeleteOoo a deconstructed sushi in a bowl - what a terrific idea! I'll be making this asap!
ReplyDeletesmart. simple. fast. delish. makes this sooo right! thanks for the inspiration, Dawn!
ReplyDeleteSimple and delicious!
ReplyDeleteMy husband would love it if I made this for him. I guess I better get on it, huh? Yours is so colorful and the salmon is gorgeous!
ReplyDeleteOh WOW! I could eat this everyday all spring/summer long. I would add some shrimp and asparagus with a whole lotta tamari and wasabi! How beautiful. Great job!
ReplyDeletei am drooling all over your blog here - fantastic stuff you've got here :O)
ReplyDeleteI love your version of Chirashi sushi.
ReplyDeleteThis is a great concept and a beautiful presentation! GREG
ReplyDeletelove this! i'm pregnant, so am currently drooling over all things sushi even though i can;t have it - looks delicious!
