Pick high-quality salmon fillet
When choosing salmon for your sushi bowl, find fillets with a vibrant, even colour and a moist, glossy surface. The flesh should look firm – and if the fillet has skin, it should be shiny and free from discolouration.
Perfect rice texture
The perfect sushi bowl starts with well-prepared rice. First, rinse the rice well to remove extra starch that can cause clumping. Use a 1:1.2 ratio of rice to water. Once cooked, let it sit for 10 minutes before fluffing, then season with a mixture of rice vinegar, sugar, and salt, gently folding it in to avoid crushing the grains. This gives the rice its signature sushi-style flavour and light, slightly sticky texture.

Make a fresh and colourful sushi bowl
Fresh ingredients and gorgeous colours make this sushi bowl a visual and tasty delight. Bright greens, deep corals, and everything in between create a little rainbow, while the flavours stay crisp and refreshing. All you need is fifteen minutes, a bit of chopping, and some layering before it is ready to enjoy. Now, all that is missing is a pair of chopsticks!
With sticky rice, fresh salmon, creamy avocado, and crunchy edamame
A bed of perfectly sticky rice fills the bottom, ready to hold every topping in place. Fresh salmon is silky and soft, melting away as you eat, while creamy avocado joins in with its buttery smooth texture and a subtle nutty nuance. But to keep things from getting too soft, edamame steps in with a nice bite and a fresh, slightly sweet flavour.
Top with spicy chilli mayonnaise
The chilli mayonnaise is creamy, rich, and full of heat. It wraps around every ingredient, making sure each scoop has a pleasant punch. Its silky consistency pulls everything into one satisfying bite, introducing a spicy, creamy contrast to the fresh toppings.
Satisfy your sushi cravings
When the craving for sushi hits, our sushi bowl recipe is the quick and easy solution! It has everything you would expect from a sushi roll, just served in a bowl instead, with silky salmon, creamy avocado, and crunchy edamame.
However, this bowl is more than just a way to satisfy a sushi fix. It takes the best of the Japanese sushi roll and the Hawaiian poke bowl, fusing them together to recreate the same fresh flavours in a speedy and comforting way.
There is always another reason to enjoy Japanese flavours. Go for smoky yakitori, savour the sticky-sweet glaze of teriyaki salmon noodles, or get that sizzling bite of yakiniku.
Get creative with the ingredients
There is no one way to enjoy a sushi bowl, so switch things up and make it your own. Swap the chilli mayo for another spicy dressing, like soy sauce with a splash of sriracha or a dab of wasabi. Sriracha has a sharp, tangy heat, while wasabi brings a warmer spiciness with a horseradish-like note.
Introduce more vegetables by tossing in shredded cabbage for a fresh, peppery bite, while julienned carrots provide a gentle sweetness with a crisp snap. Or swap the salmon for tuna, which has a firmer texture and a more buttery taste. Chicken teriyaki is another amazing option, offering tender bites coated in a sticky, caramelised glaze with a hint of smoky sweetness.
