This California sushi bowl is the perfect shortcut to curing a sushi craving. You’ll love the slightly tangy, slightly spicy sauce!
I used to make homemade sushi, until I realized that I was just wasting time. Since my kids and husband din’t care to eat rolled sushi, I decided to make a sushi bowl instead. The idea for the sushi bowl came from my old coworker, she use to own a sushi restaurant and shared a few tricks.
I won’t be listing ingredients amounts. Just build as you wish, or whatever your taste buds tell ya’.

I did my own version of this easier way to put together sushi! Thanks for the inspiration. Nathalie - myhealthyfoodielife.wordpress.com
Looks cool!! Great idea, thanks for sharing 🙂
Just an FYI cucumber wasn't in the ingredient list.
Thank you 🙂
Thank you so much. I have this lazy sushi on next weeks menu. I will have to try it.
oops-- don't add the water until you check the consistency
Try: YUM YUM Sauce--G
1 cup Hellman’s Mayonnaise
¼ cup water
1 teaspoon. tomato paste
1 Tablespoon melted butter
1 teaspoon. garlic powder
1 teaspoon sugar
1 teaspoon paprika
½ teaspoon sesame oil
cayenne pepper to taste.
1 Tablespoon Sriracha or hot sauce --optional
Wisk all ingredients together until smooth.
Must refrigerate OVERNIGHT for flavors to blend.
Serve at room temp make 6 ¼ cup servings (we love this sauce) or 12 1/8 cup
Those are great tips. I want to make sushi now 🙂 Mind sharing what is ur secret sauce 😉
I do this type of thing all the time also....sushi just tastes better homemade! Especially with our own secret homemade sushi sauce! One other thing I use if doing lazy sushi that makes all the difference is Jay One brand premium roasted and lightly salted seaweed sold in Costco in a 24 pack, it's 24 small packages of 10 small pieces of seaweed that are full of nutty sesame flavor. Try it out and enjoy!
no clue but I know the sauce you are talking about, I love that sauce. Ill have to look into that.
hehe, what a great idea.. never thought of this, but it makes sense on days when you just crave sushi but don't have time to buy or make it. I would love to add the spicy mayo sauce that they use. Do you by any chance know how they make that??
That sounds like a great idea. I use sushi sauce on top for flavoring.
I love this idea of lazy sushi:) I will try it your way. I would mix rice with mirin sauce and rice vinegar first like the same way I make sushi.
