Ingredients
Scale
300 grams cooked sushi rice
15 milliliters rice vinegar
5 grams sugar
1/4 teaspoon salt
2 sheets nori, cut into tiny shreds
100 grams cucumber, finely diced
150 grams avocado, small dice
200 grams cooked shrimp or imitation crab, chopped
60 grams mayonnaise (or vegan mayo)
1 teaspoon Sriracha (optional)
1 tablespoon sesame seeds
2 green onions, sliced
30 milliliters soy sauce or tamari, for serving
Instructions
Cook the sushi rice according to package directions, then spread it on a tray to cool. While warm, gently fold in the rice vinegar, sugar, and salt. Let the rice cool completely before shaping.
Preheat a lightly oiled mini muffin tin or use silicone cups. Scoop about 1/4 cup of seasoned rice into each cavity and press firmly with the back of a spoon to form a compact cup. Chill for 10–15 minutes to help them hold their shape.
In a bowl, mix cucumber, avocado, shrimp (or crab), mayonnaise, and Sriracha if using. Stir gently until everything is coated and creamy, with small bits of texture visible.
Fill each rice cup with a generous spoonful of the filling. Top with a sprinkle of nori, sesame seeds, and a few green onions for color. If you like extra bite, add a small sprinkle of finely chopped pickles or radish.
Transfer to a serving platter and refrigerate 15–20 minutes to let flavors mingle. Serve with soy sauce or tamari on the side for dipping.
Enjoy immediately or keep chilled for up to 1 day. Cups may soften if left too long at room temperature.
Notes
A bite-sized, one-handed sushi snack with crisp cucumber, avocado, and shrimp nestled in seasoned rice, perfect for parties or quick weeknight dinners.
