INSTRUCTIONS

Prepare the Watermelon Sushi:

Put watermelon in a bowl, add Marukan Lite Seasoned Rice Vinegar, tamari, sesame oil, grated ginger, and sesame seeds. Gently toss the watermelon cubes in the marinade and let sit for at least 15 minutes (or up to 1 hour for deeper flavor).

Prepare the Rice:

Once the sushi rice is cooked and slightly cooled, gently fold in Marukan Lite Seasoned Rice Vinegar and salt. Set aside.

Pickle the Vegetables:

In a small bowl, mix the cucumber, carrots, and radish with Marukan Lite Seasoned Rice Vinegar, maple syrup, and salt. Let sit for 10-15 minutes, stirring occasionally.

Pickle the Mango:

In a small bowl, toss the mango slices with Marukan Lite Seasoned Rice Vinegar, salt, maple syrup, and red pepper flakes, if using.

Let sit for at least 10 minutes, stirring occasionally.

Assemble the Poke Bowls:

Divide the sushi rice between two bowls.

Arrange the marinated watermelon, pickled mango, pickled vegetables, edamame, and avocado on top.

Sprinkle with sesame seeds and add nori strips, if using.

Garnish with sliced green onions and serve immediately.
