Does anyone else feel like they’ve been eating take-out more often since quarantine started? In a typical week, we rarely hit up restaurants and prefer to cook at home. Since quarantine started back in March, we’ve been on a roll of weekly take-out nights – for one, to support local businesses, but also to get something different to mix up our day.
Our go-to in my home lately has been sushi. After a few weeks of regular sushi orders, I was determined to make something for lunch one day that would satisfy the craving. These sushi bowls are simple to make, have crispy breaded shrimp, and a delicious sesame soy dressing.
How to make it:
To make, start by cooking rice according to instructions. Meanwhile, prepare the crispy shrimp by mixing panko with whole wheat flour, salt and pepper on a shallow dish. Gently whisk an egg white in a small bowl.
Take each shrimp by the tail and dip in egg white, followed by the panko mixture. My trick for crispy shrimp is to place the coated shrimp on a grate on top of a sheet pan. This method allows air to get underneath so that the shrimp gets extra crispy. The shrimp will bake for about 10 minutes at 425F.
While shrimp is baking, prepare the Ginger Soy dressing by mixing the ingredients in a small bowl.
Assemble the bowls by dividing the cooked rice, edamame, carrot, avocado and cucumber into two servings. Top with cooked shrimp, green onion and sesame seeds. Drizzle with the Ginger Soy Dressing and serve immediately.
