Step-by-Step Instructions for Sushi Cups
  1. In a medium pot, combine 1 cup of rinsed sushi rice with 1 ¼ cups of water. Bring to a boil, reduce heat, cover, and simmer for 20 minutes. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.
  2. Take two heaping tablespoons of the cooled rice and press firmly into each slot of a silicone muffin pan. Compact well and refrigerate for 20 minutes to set.
  3. In a mixing bowl, combine ½ cup of chopped veggies, ¼ cup steamed mukimame, and ¼ cup diced avocado. Drizzle with sauce, mix gently, and set aside.
  4. In another bowl, whisk together ¼ cup mayonnaise, 1 teaspoon Sriracha, 1 teaspoon coconut aminos or soy sauce, 1 teaspoon honey, and ½ teaspoon sesame oil until creamy. Adjust spice level as desired.
  5. Once rice cups are set, remove them from the muffin pan and place on a serving platter. Fill each with the veggie mixture, drizzle with spicy mayo, and garnish with black sesame seeds.
