Notes

  • Use sushi-grade fish only if serving raw.
  • Cooked shrimp, imitation crab, tofu, or chicken are excellent protein alternatives.
  • Store rice and toppings separately for meal prep.
  • Toss avocado with lemon or lime juice to help prevent browning.
  • Substitute cauliflower rice for a lower-carbohydrate option.
  • Use tamari instead of soy sauce for a gluten-free version.
