Ingredients
Scale
- 1 pound large, peeled, and deveined shrimp
- 3 tablespoons white miso paste
- 1 tablespoon honey or maple syrup
- 1 tablespoon soy sauce or tamari
- 1 teaspoon sesame oil
- 1 cup sushi rice
- 1 ¼ cups water
- Vegetables (snap peas, bell peppers, carrots, or any seasonal veggies like broccoli or zucchini)
- 1 tablespoon sesame oil for cooking
- Chopped green onions for garnish
- Sesame seeds for garnish
Instructions
- Rinse 1 cup of sushi rice under cold water until the water runs clear. Cook according to your rice cooker’s instructions or on the stovetop by combining it with 1 ¼ cups of water. Bring to a boil, then cover and simmer on low for about 18 minutes. Once done, let it rest off the heat for 10 minutes before fluffing with a fork.
- In a small bowl, combine 3 tablespoons of white miso paste, 1 tablespoon of honey or maple syrup, 1 tablespoon of soy sauce (or tamari for gluten-free), and 1 teaspoon of sesame oil. Whisk until smooth and set aside.
- In a large skillet, heat a tablespoon of sesame oil over medium-high heat. Add 1 pound of shrimp and cook for 2-3 minutes, until they turn pink and opaque. Pour in the miso glaze and toss to coat the shrimp evenly. Cook for an additional 1-2 minutes until the glaze is sticky and caramelized.
- While the shrimp cooks, quickly sauté your chosen vegetables in the same skillet for about 3-4 minutes until just tender but still crisp. You can add a splash of water or a bit of soy sauce for extra flavor.
- Divide the cooked rice among bowls, top with the miso-glazed shrimp, and arrange the sautéed vegetables on the side. Garnish with chopped green onions and sesame seeds for an added touch.
