Step-by-Step Instructions for Sushi Cups
  1. In a medium pot, combine 1 cup of rinsed sushi rice with 1.5 cups of water. Bring to a boil, reduce heat, cover, and simmer for 20 minutes.
  2. After rice is done, let it cool slightly in the pot while keeping it covered.
  3. Grease a muffin tin or use silicone liners. Press 2 heaping tablespoons of cooled rice into each cup; compact well and chill in the fridge for 20 minutes.
  4. Chop chosen veggies and combine with mukimame, diced avocado, and sauce in a bowl, mixing gently.
  5. Whisk together mayonnaise, Sriracha, honey, and sesame oil in a bowl until smooth, adjusting heat as necessary.
  6. Carefully remove rice cups from muffin tin, spoon veggie filling on top, drizzle with spicy mayo, and sprinkle with black sesame seeds.
