Ingredients
- 2 cups brown short-grain rice, rinsed well
- 1 (8 by 8-inch) sheet dried nori
- 3 tablespoons rice vinegar
- 1 1/2 teaspoons reduced-sodium tamari or soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon sugar or agave nectar
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/3 cup Sir Kensington's mayonnaise
- 1 to 2 tablespoons sriracha or chili-garlic sauce, to taste
- 2 cups frozen edamame, preferably organic
- 2 large carrots, sliced into ribbons with a vegetable peeler
- 1 avocado, sliced into long strips
- 1 small cucumber
- Recommended garnishes: sesame seeds (preferably black) and pickled ginger
Steps
1) To cook the rice: Bring a large pot of water to boil
2) Once the water is boiling, pour in the rinsed rice and give it a stir
3) Boil the rice for 30 minutes, then turn off the heat and drain the rice
4) Return the rice to the pot and cover the pot
5) Let the rice steam for 10 minutes
6) Remove the lid and fluff the rice with a fork
7) To prepare the rice seasoning: In a small saucepan over medium heat, combine the rice vinegar, tamari, sugar and salt
8) Warm the mixture, stirring often, until the sugar dissolves
9) Remove from heat and toss with rice once it’s done steaming
10) To toast the nori: In a large skillet over medium heat, warm the sheet of nori until it’s become crisp enough to crumble easily, flipping halfway, about 5 minutes
11) Remove from heat and tear it into quarters
12) Crumble each piece into very small pieces in your hands over the rice and drop it into the pot
13) Stir the nori into the rice and set the rice aside to cool
14) To cook the edamame: Bring a pot of water to boil, then add the frozen edamame and simmer just until the beans are warmed through, about 5 minutes
15) Drain and set aside
16) To prepare the spicy mayo sauce, whisk together the mayonnaise and sriracha in a small bowl until well blended
17) Add more sriracha if you’d like a spicier sauce
18) To prepare the cucumber, slice it in half lengthwise
19) Use a spoon to scoop out the seeds and discard them
20) Then slice the halves into 2-inch long pieces and slice them into matchsticks
21) Divide the rice between four bowls
22) Top with edamame, carrots, avocado and cucumber
23) Drizzle chili-mayo sauce on top, sprinkle with sesame seeds and serve with pickled ginger on the side.

Made with edamame pods on the side. Not nearly as good. USE SHELLED EDAMAME.
