→ Spicy Mayo

09 - 2 tablespoons light mayonnaise
10 - 1 teaspoon sriracha sauce
11 - 1/2 teaspoon honey

# Instructions:

01 - Rinse the short-grain sushi rice thoroughly under cold water. Simmer the rice with 1 1/4 cups of water until tender, then let it rest for 10 minutes before fluffing.
02 - Using a spoon or tablespoon, press the cooked and slightly cooled rice into silicone muffin liners to form cup shapes.
03 - Mix the chopped fresh veggies, steamed edamame, and diced avocado in a bowl. Add soy sauce and sesame oil, tossing to coat evenly.
04 - Combine light mayonnaise, sriracha sauce, and honey in a small bowl. Adjust the sriracha quantity to preferred spice level.
05 - Spoon the prepared veggie mixture onto each rice cup. Drizzle with spicy mayo and sprinkle with black sesame seeds before serving.

# Notes:

01 - Wet your spoon when shaping rice cups to prevent sticking.
02 - Pair with pickled ginger, wasabi, or green tea for an authentic sushi experience.
03 - Double the recipe for larger gatherings; you’ll need 2 muffin pans.
