Garden Fresh
These Gluten Free Deconstructed Sushi Bowls with Crispy Rice were inspired by a place I recently visited with one of my friends. Since moving back to North Carolina, I've been trying to explore and discover new and unique food suppliers.
I recently visited a microgreens nursey and one of the microgreens that instantly excited my taste buds was wasabi microgreens. They add that peppery spicy punch to this dish. However if you can't find wasabi microgreens you can substitute with your favorite variety.
Part of what makes these bowls so special is all of the incredible texture. From the crunch of cool, crisp cucumbers to the creamy sauce hugging the seafood, every bite is a little different.
The canvas supporting all of the flavors and textures in Gluten Free Deconstructed Sushi Bowls with Crispy Rice is crispy sushi rice. I love that you can make the sushi rice ahead of time, and then crisp up the rice in a pan when you're ready to serve. This allows the entire fresh meal to come together easily and quickly.
I am using a combination of two different kinds of seafood in this recipe. Both cooked shrimp and krab meat offer up their natural sweetness that pairs perfectly with the spicy kick of jalapenos and sriracha.
