Ingredients
  

Rice

  • 1 cup sushi rice

Salmon

  • 2 salmon filets
  • 2 tbsp soy sauce
  • 1 tsp sesame oil
  • 1 tsp minced ginger
  • 1 tsp honey
  • 1 clove minced garlic
  • 1 tsp honey
  • 1 tsp chili crunch

Bok Choy

  • 1 bunch bok choy
  • 1 clove garlic, minced
  • 1 pinch minced ginger
  • 1 tsp sesame oil
  • salt & pepper to taste
  • optional, few drops of fish sauce

Optional Toppings / Add Ins

  • 1 chopped hot pepper
  • 2 tsp spicy mayo
  • 2 tsp chopped chives
  • 2 tsp soy sauce
  • 1 avocado, sliced
  • 1 tsp black sesame seeds

Instructions
 

  • Cook sushi rice per package instructions, yields approx 2-3 cups cooked
  • In one small bowl mix together all ingredients from the salmon ingredients section (except the salmon itself). Stir together and set aside.
  • Rinse the bok choy, slice the bottom off the bok choy just enough so that each stalk separates. Pat dry and set aside.
  • Remove skin from salmon if needed and cut into approximately one inch cubes.
  • Heat a medium sized skillet over medium heat, add in the sesame oil, optional fish sauce, garlic & ginger from the bok choy ingredients section and cook about one minute until fragrant.
  • Add in bok choy in a single layer across the pan. Cover pan to allow steam to stay in. Rotate or gently stir around the bok choy every minute for a total of 4 minutes until wilted and softened. Remove bok choy from pan and set aside on a plate.
  • If pan still seems well oiled, you're good, but you can drizzle a tiny bit more sesame oil for cooking the salmon if preferred.
  • Add salmon cubes to pan and sear about 1 minute each side for a total of 5-6 minutes. When you're about 4 minutes in pour the salmon sauce into the pan and let salmon finish cooking in the sauce. Gently stir salmon cubes when finished cooking to get evenly coated with the sauce.
  • Assemble bowls. Start with rice and top with cooked bok choy and salmon. Add all your optional toppings depending on what you like! I personally love adding some hot pepper and spicy mayo balanced out by some avocado slices. Chives, sesame seeds and soy sauce to taste are all great add ons as well, if you have them on hand!
