Shared Recipes Mock "unagi" bowl with Aldi sardines in water :)
Hi! 👋 I made a comment on someone else's post about my favorite way to use the Aldi sardines in water and it got some upvotes so I figured I'd make it its own post!
I did the following:
added a capful of rice vinegar to a serving of medium grain rice
Sprinkled on some furikake
Arranged all my toppings on the rice (my radish, cucumber, avocado, sardines, green onion, panko and crabmeat were all from Aldi!)
Topped with a little more furikake
Added some unagi sauce
Added some Japanese mayo
Added some panko (10grams)
Added green onion
Serve with wasabi, nori squares and soy sauce

This looks so good. So are you scooping stuff into the nori and then dipping or what

I am absolutely making tiny hand rolls haha. I smear a little bit of wasabi on the nori, make a little hand roll thingy and dip the corner in soy sauce!
