Step 1

To prepare the sushi dressing, combine all of the dressing ingredients in a microwave-safe bowl (or in a small saucepan), heat until very warm and stir until the sugar and salt dissolve. Pour into a canning jar or other heatproof container with a tight fitting lid and store in the refrigerator for up to 1 month, using as needed.

Step 2

To prepare the California Roll Sushi Bowls, cook the desired amount of rice according to the package instructions. When the rice is done, turn it into a large-ish mixing bowl, fluff it gently and pour the appropriate amount of Sushi Dressing over the top. Fold the dressing in gently, taking care not to smash the rice. Lay damp paper towels over the surface of the rice to prevent it from drying out and let the rice cool to room temperature.

Step 3

When the rice is cool, divided among serving bowls and arrange the toppings in the order listed to the left. Serve immediately.
