Rice Recipe: Sushi Roll Rice Salad

Cooking Instructions

This is a great pre-workout meal that is easy to prepare.

A salad version of a deconstructed sushi roll, this dish is quickly assembled with leftover brown rice and highlighted with Japanese-inspired textures and flavours.

Carbohydrate-rich brown rice is the best energy fuel, especially when combined with a protein such as the cooked shrimp in this recipe.

In a small bowl, whisk together ginger pickling liquid, vinegar and sesame seeds. Set aside.
In two small bowls, divide rice.

Arrange seafood or fish, avocado and cucumber slices decoratively over rice.

Drizzle dressing over each.

Top with wasabi peas and nori.
