Description
A delightful twist on traditional sushi rolls, these bite-sized sushi cups combine fresh ingredients in a crispy wonton shell, perfect for sharing at gatherings or enjoying at home.
Ingredients
Scale
- Wonton wrappers
- 200 g (1 cup) sushi rice
- 300 ml (1 ¼ cups) water
- 100 g (3.5 oz) cooked shrimp or crab
- ½ avocado
- ½ cucumber
- 1 small carrot
- 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
- 1 tablespoon mayonnaise
- 1 teaspoon sesame oil
- Soy sauce to taste
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F). Place the wonton wrappers into a greased muffin tin, gently pressing the centers to form cups. Bake for about 10 minutes or until golden brown and crisp.
- Rinse the sushi rice under cold water until the water runs clear. Combine with water in a rice cooker and cook according to the manufacturer’s instructions, or bring to a boil, reduce to low heat, cover, and simmer for 18-20 minutes.
- Transfer the cooked rice to a bowl, mix in rice vinegar and salt, and let it cool. Chop your choice of seafood and vegetables.
- Combine the cooked rice with seafood and vegetables in a mixing bowl. Drizzle with soy sauce, mayonnaise, and sesame oil; fold gently.
- Fill each wonton cup with the mixture, allowing it to mound slightly. Enjoy immediately, garnished as desired.
Notes
Don’t overcrowd the cups for easier eating. Prepare wonton cups and filling separately if making ahead.
