Ingredients
Scale
- 300 g (1.5 cups) sushi rice
- 4 sheets nori
- Proteins (Shrimp, Crab, Chicken)
- 1 cucumber, diced
- 1 avocado, diced
- 30 ml (2 tablespoons) rice vinegar
- 15 g (1 tablespoon) sugar
- 1 g (¼ teaspoon) salt
- 15 ml (1 tablespoon) soy sauce
- Sesame seeds or chopped green onions for garnish
Instructions
- Prepare the Sushi Rice: Rinse the sushi rice under cold water until clear. Cook in a rice cooker or pot with water, then cool slightly.
- Prepare the Nori Cups: Preheat oven to 180°C (350°F). Cut nori into quarters, press into muffin tin cups, and bake for 5–7 minutes until crisp.
- Season the Rice: Mix cooled rice with rice vinegar, sugar, and salt.
- Assemble the Cups: Fill nori cups with sushi rice, top with protein and diced vegetables.
- Add Final Touches: Drizzle soy sauce over each cup and garnish as desired. Serve immediately or refrigerate for up to 1 hour.
Notes
Avoid overcooking the rice; it should be sticky but not mushy. Prepare rice and nori cups ahead of time for best timing. Leftover cups can be stored in an airtight container but will lose crispness.
