CALIFORNIA ROLL BOWLS



California Roll Bowls image

This dish is a deconstructed version of the California roll, which typically includes crab (real or imitation), cucumber and avocado. Ree skips the avocado and doubles down on crunch with shredded carrots and canned fried onions. She tops it all with pickled ginger, sesame seeds and seaweed snacks, which are a nod to the nori seaweed found in many rolls.

Time 20m

Yield 2 servings

Number Of Ingredients 14

1/3 cup mayonnaise
1 to 2 tablespoons sriracha
2 teaspoons soy sauce, plus more for serving
Drizzle sesame oil
4 teaspoons rice vinegar
8 ounces imitation crab, shredded
One 8.8-ounce microwave bag sticky rice, cooked and cooled
1 mini English cucumber, sliced into rounds
1/2 cup shredded carrot
One .35-ounce package seaweed snacks
1/4 cup packaged fried onions
2 heaping tablespoons pickled ginger
1 tablespoon sesame seeds
1 scallion, sliced thin

Steps:

  • In a bowl, mix the mayonnaise, sriracha, soy, sesame oil and 2 teaspoons of the rice vinegar until well combined. Fold in the imitation crab, then set aside.
  • Divide the rice between two serving bowls, adding 1 teaspoon rice vinegar to each. Stir to mix the vinegar into the rice.
  • Place the dressed imitation crab into the bowls, followed by the cucumber, carrot, seaweed snacks, onions and pickled ginger. Garnish with the sesame seeds and scallions, then serve.

Tips:

  • Use high-quality ingredients: Fresh, flavorful ingredients will make a big difference in the taste of your burger bowls. Look for grass-fed beef, ripe tomatoes, and crisp lettuce.
  • Cook the beef patties to your desired doneness: If you like your burgers medium-rare, cook them for about 3 minutes per side. For medium, cook them for about 4 minutes per side. For medium-well, cook them for about 5 minutes per side.
  • Season the beef patties generously: Use a combination of salt, pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder to season the beef patties. You can also add other spices, such as chili powder or cumin, to taste.
  • Make a flavorful sauce: The sauce is what really brings the burger bowls together. Try making a simple sauce with ketchup, mayonnaise, mustard, and Worcestershire sauce. You can also add other ingredients, such as Sriracha or horseradish, to taste.
  • Load up the burger bowls: Fill the burger bowls with your favorite toppings. Some popular toppings include lettuce, tomatoes, onions, pickles, and cheese. You can also add other toppings, such as avocado, bacon, or jalapeños.

California burger bowls are a delicious and easy way to enjoy a classic burger without all the guilt. They're also a great way to get your daily dose of fruits and vegetables.
