Notes
- Be sure to add crunch! Fried shallots, shredded carrot, diced cucumber or wasabi peas are some of my favorite options.
- Drizzle with a spicy sauce: Combine 2 Tbsp. mayo or Greek yogurt with 1 Tbsp. sriracha and a squeeze of fresh lemon juice to drizzle over the bowl prior to serving. For a larger sriracha mayo batch, whisk together 1 cup mayonnaise, 3-4 Tbsp. Sriracha, 1 Tbsp. lemon juice, 1 minced clove garlic, and salt and pepper to taste. SO GOOD.
