These Spicy Salmon Sushi Bowls are my interpretation of what would happen if you put cooked salmon in a Spicy California Roll and then deconstructed it in a bowl.
These bowls give you all the sushi roll flavors that you love, but for far less effort
Even though they're maybe not the most authentic thing ever, I can't help but love a good Spicy California or Spicy Salmon Roll. But I've never been adventurous enough to try to make sushi rolls at home.
When I need to get my sushi fix but don't want to leave my house and head to a sushi restaurant, I take a little bit of a shortcut. Basically, I take all of the flavors and ingredients that I love about sushi rolls and put 'em in a bowl.
A big Bowl of Food = comfort food at its finest
In addition to this bowl of sushi goodness being much more convenient to make and quick to come together than a sushi roll, there's something about tucking into a big bowl of food that's just really comforting. Joy the Baker has a whole series of Bowl of Food recipes, for instance.
Check it out. I think there's something to it.
Make a little, or a lot!
As written, this recipe is for two bowls, but it can easily be scaled up.
I like to make enough for 4-5 portions and have this as a really delicious (decidedly un-sad) lunch at work. If you choose to do that, your coworkers will be very envious.
