Notes

Rice – You can use pretty much any variety of short grain rice for this recipe. We most often make it with sushi rice of course, but jasmine rice or brown rice work well too. Sub quinoa if you prefer.
Save Even More Time – Keep frozen sushi rice on hand that you can reheat just before serving. Serve with rotisserie chicken or canned tuna (we prefer tuna in spring water or olive oil so we can add our own flavourings) to cut down prep time.
Storage – Store leftovers in the fridge for a day or so in an airtight container. For best results, store ingredients separately so you can reheat the rice or proteins without wilting any of your crisp salad veggies. We don't recommend freezing sushi bowls, but you can certainly freeze pre-cooked rice portions to make it really quick and easy to serve dinner in a flash.
