📖 Instructions

1. Begin by preparing the rice. Rinse 1 cup of sushi rice under cold water until the water runs clear. This removes excess starch and ensures fluffy rice. Add the rinsed rice to your rice cooker along with 1 1/4 cups of water. Close the lid and start the rice cooker.
2. While the rice is cooking, prepare the vegetables. Wash and chop 1 cup of broccoli florets into small, bite-sized pieces. Ensure they are uniformly sized for even cooking. In a steamer basket, steam the broccoli florets over boiling water for about 5-7 minutes, or until they are tender-crisp. Remove from heat and set aside.
3. Next, prepare the guacamole. In a mixing bowl, mash 2 ripe avocados with a fork until you achieve your desired consistency—either smooth or slightly chunky. Add 1/4 cup of finely chopped red onion, 1/4 cup of chopped cilantro, the juice of 1 lime, 1/2 teaspoon of salt, and 1/4 teaspoon of black pepper. Mix all ingredients thoroughly until well combined. Taste and adjust seasoning as needed.
4. Prepare any additional toppings. If using, dice 1/2 cup of cherry tomatoes, thinly slice 1 green onion, and have these ready to add to your bowl. These fresh toppings add a burst of flavor and color to the dish.
5. Once the rice is cooked, gently fluff it with a fork. This prevents the rice from clumping together and makes it easier to serve. Let the rice cool slightly before assembling the bowl to prevent the guacamole from becoming too warm.
6. Assemble the rice bowl. In a bowl, place a generous portion of the steamed rice as the base. Top with the steamed broccoli florets and a generous dollop of freshly made guacamole. Arrange the diced cherry tomatoes and sliced green onions on top.
7. Add any additional toppings. For an extra layer of flavor and texture, consider adding a sprinkle of sesame seeds or a drizzle of soy sauce. Feel free to customize the bowl to your liking with your favorite toppings.
8. Serve immediately and enjoy! This Guacamole Steamed Rice Bowl is best enjoyed fresh. The combination of warm rice, creamy guacamole, and fresh vegetables creates a delightful and satisfying meal.
