1/4 cup rice vinegar

1 tbsp sugar

1 tsp salt
-
1 serving of cooked shrimp (peeled and deveined)

2-3 tbsp mayonnaise (adjust to taste)

1/2 tbsp sriracha (adjust for spice level)

Instructions
- Microwave sticky rice according to package instructions
- In a small microwave-safe dish, combine rice vinegar, sugar, and salt. Microwave for 1 minute.
- Pour vinegar mixture over cooked sticky rice. Gently fold it in with a silicone spatula – avoid crushing the rice.
- Let rice cool to room temperature. (Shortcut: place it in the freezer for a few minutes while prepping toppings.)
- Defrost cooked shrimp under cold water until thawed. Squeeze dry with a paper towel.
- In a bowl, mix mayo and sriracha to taste (I prefer a 3:1 ratio).
- Dice shrimp and toss with spicy mayo mixture until well coated.
- In a separate bowl, mash avocado and salt to taste.
- To assemble:
- Start with a base of sticky rice
- Spread mashed avocado
- Add cucumber matchsticks
- Top with spicy shrimp
- Drizzle with extra sriracha if desired
- Serve immediately and enjoy!
Notes
• Customize your favorite toppings like avocado, cucumber, or spicy mayo
