Sushi don is a bowl of seasoned sushi rice topped with slices of raw salmon, ripe avocado, strips of nori and a sprinkle of sesame seeds, with soy sauce on the side. It offers the flavours of sushi without rolling: soft, slightly tangy rice, buttery fish and creamy avocado. It is eaten with chopsticks as a quick, filling one-bowl meal.

Recipe

2 servings40 min

Ingredients

300 g sushi rice (raw)
360 ml water
3 tbsp rice vinegar
1 tbsp sugar
1 tsp salt
250 g sashimi-grade salmon, sliced
1 avocado, sliced
1 sheet nori, cut into strips
1 tsp sesame seeds
2 tbsp soy sauce

Method

Rinse the rice until the water runs clear, then cook it with the water.
Dissolve the sugar and salt in the vinegar and fold into the hot rice; let it cool to room temperature.
Divide the rice between two bowls.
Arrange the salmon and avocado on top.
Scatter with nori and sesame seeds and serve with soy sauce for drizzling.

How to make it lighter

Use a smaller scoop of rice (about 150 g cooked) and add cucumber or shredded cabbage to fill the bowl.
Half an avocado per two bowls keeps the fat in check while keeping the creaminess.
Drizzle the soy sauce lightly instead of pouring — it adds a lot of salt.

History

Bowls of vinegared rice with raw fish on top, known in Japan as chirashi or kaisendon, are a long-standing home and restaurant dish. The salmon-and-avocado combination reflects more recent, international tastes.
