Ingredients
Sushi bowl:
- 1 lb sashimi grade fish (salmon, tuna, white fish)
- 1.5 cups cooked short grain rice (1 cup per person, cooked)
- 3 cups/2 big handfuls for each bowl salad greens (Any kind of soft lettuce used for salad will work: Bibb, Butter, Gem lettuce, green or red leaf lettuce, boxed spring greens, spinach mix, etc.)
- 1 small carrot
- 2 small cucumbers (or 1/2 large one)
Toppings (optional but recommended):
- 4-6 perilla leaves (divided evenly)
- 1 small packet roasted + seasoned seaweed snack (gim) (divided evenly)
- 2 Tbsp Masago (divided evenly)
Cho Gochujang:
- 2 Tbsp Gochujang
- 1 Tbsp Vinegar (white distilled, white wine, rice wine, apple cider vinegar, apple vinegar all work well here)
- 1 Tbsp sesame oil (plus more for drizzling)
- 1/2 Tbsp sugar
Instructions
- In a small bowl, make the Cho Gochujang sauce. Add ingredients and mix well. The sauce should be smooth and pourable. Add more vinegar and/or sesame oil 1 tsp at a time, if the sauce looks too thick. Set aside.
- Prep vegetables: roughly chop the lettuce, julienne the carrots and cucumbers, and chiffonade perilla leaves (like basil).
- Assemble: In two bowls, evenly divide the salad greens and vegetables. Add sushi-grade fish and scoop of rice.
- Add toppings: Evenly divide the perilla leaves, crushed Nori, and masago between the two bowls.
- Serve sushi bowls with Cho Gochujang and extra sesame oil. People can drizzle as much Cho Gochujang and sesame oil as they like. Mix with a spoon and enjoy!
Notes
*My recipe recommends 1/2 lb of sashimi grade fish for each person. Feel free to adjust as needed.
Tips:
- Julienne Vegetables. Slice as thinly as possible for best texture!
- Use LARGE Bowls. For serving, big bowls are best. You need to mix everything before eating. If the bowl is too small, food will fall out.
- Serve Gochujang sauce on the side. That way, people can add as much as they like. And adjust to their own spice tolerance.
- For non-spicy eaters: Skip the Gochujang sauce and add only sesame oil instead.
- Swap white rice with Korean Purple Rice. For added nutrition. And it's very pretty!
