Ingredients
Scale
Sushi Rice
- 1 cup sushi rice
- 2 tablespoons rice vinegar
- 1 tablespoon sugar
- Salt to taste
Shrimp Mixture
- 1 lb shrimp, peeled and deveined
- 2 tablespoons sriracha sauce
- 1 tablespoon mayonnaise
Vegetables and Garnish
- 1 avocado, sliced
- 1 cucumber, thinly sliced
- Nori sheets, cut into strips
Instructions
- Rinse the Rice: Rinse the sushi rice under cold water until the water runs clear to remove excess starch, ensuring fluffy and non-sticky rice.
- Cook and Season the Rice: Cook the sushi rice following the package instructions. Once cooked, gently mix it with rice vinegar, sugar, and salt while it’s still warm to create that perfect sushi rice flavor.
- Prepare the Shrimp Mixture: In a bowl, combine the peeled and deveined shrimp with sriracha sauce and mayonnaise, mixing well to coat the shrimp evenly with the spicy, creamy sauce.
- Set up the Sushi Stack Mold: Place your stacking mold or ring on a serving plate to begin layering your sushi stacks.
- Layer the Ingredients: Start with a layer of sushi rice at the bottom of the mold, followed by a layer of the spicy shrimp mixture, then slices of avocado and cucumber. Press down gently to compact each layer.
- Repeat Layers: Continue layering rice, shrimp, avocado, and cucumber until the mold is completely filled, creating visually appealing stacks.
- Remove the Mold: Carefully lift off the mold to reveal neatly stacked sushi layers. Use a gentle hand to maintain the shape.
- Garnish and Serve: Top the stacks with strips of nori for texture and flavor contrast. Serve immediately to enjoy fresh and vibrant sushi stacks.
Notes
- Use fresh shrimp for the best taste and texture.
- Adjust the amount of sriracha sauce according to your spice preference.
- Sushi rice can be substituted with other short-grain rice, but texture will vary.
- Chilling the stacks briefly before serving can help them set better.
- Serve with soy sauce and pickled ginger for a complete sushi experience.
