Ingredients

• Sushi rice - 150 grams
• Water - 300 ml
• Rice vinegar - 30 ml
• Sugar - 10 grams
• Salt - 5 grams
• Cucumber - 1 small, julienned
• Carrot - 1 small, julienned
• Radish - 50 grams, thinly sliced
• Avocado - 1, sliced
• Cooked shrimp - 100 grams, peeled and deveined
• Sesame seeds - 10 grams
• Soy sauce (gluten-free) - 15 ml
• Green onions - 2, chopped

Steps

1. Rinse the sushi rice under cold water until the water runs clear. Drain and set aside.
2. In a medium saucepan, combine the rinsed rice and 300 ml of water. Bring to a boil over medium heat, then reduce to low, cover, and simmer for 15 minutes or until the water is absorbed.
3. In a small bowl, mix rice vinegar, sugar, and salt until dissolved. Once the rice is cooked, transfer it to a large bowl and gently fold in the vinegar mixture. Let it cool to room temperature.
4. While the rice is cooling, prepare the vegetables: julienne the cucumber and carrot, slice the radish, and slice the avocado.
5. Once the rice has cooled, divide it into two bowls. Arrange the cucumber, carrot, radish, avocado, and cooked shrimp over the rice in a decorative pattern.
6. Drizzle each bowl with gluten-free soy sauce and sprinkle sesame seeds and chopped green onions on top before serving.
