Tik Tok Shrimp Rice Bowl

1

If you have some leftover rice or leftover shrimp/salmon, you might wanna make this easy and yummy lunch (or dinner). You can also make the rice and shrimp, like I did, and enjoy yourself a delicious meal. This is also perfect for meal prepping. You make the salmon or shrimp and rice on Sunday and are hooked up for the week.

This is a completely customizable dish. You can add in whatever you like and have. I did not have kimchi, which is something that would definitely work well here, if you do have it, add it in.

I also pickled my cucumber with some rice vinegar, salt and sugar for some extra tang. The longer you leave the thinly sliced cucumber soaking, the more flavorful it tastes. I had some nori paper and sliced that up to do the sushi thing but to be honest, abandoned that ship and just ate it straight up with a fork.

Now to the sauces. I highly recommend the Kewpie Mayo with this one, but regular mayonnaise works of course. The Sriracha hot sauce and low sodium soy sauce is a must as well. Mix it all together with your scallions to create a simple sushi masterpiece.

Notes

You can use any type of rice.

For the Cucumber Salad: you can use white wine vinegar instead of rice vinegar. You can use olive oil instead of sesame oil.

Regular mayonnaise works here too.
