You may call this sushi bowl, others may call it a poke bowl. There are very slight differences to what each entails, but when it comes to most restaurants, the lines are somewhat blurred!
I like to call it a sushi bowl, because I tend to incorporate avocado, edamame, sesame seeds, and some of the traditional sushi additives. However, there are no restrictions to what other options you might want to use. Just make sure that your preferred veggie and protein selections are low in FODMAPs and adjusted for portion size.
For this recipe, you will be making sushi rice. Sushi rice utilizes a different type of grain than traditional white rice. It is also usually seasoned with a rice vinegar/sugar combination. Stores also sell this type of rice vinegar as ‘seasoned rice vinegar’, which I find simpler to purchase (I make this a lot). However, if you prefer regular white or brown rice, feel free to substitute.

I have paired my sushi bowl with a Ponzu sauce, which is an Asian citrus-like marinade, which tastes absolutely fantastic on a variety of foods. You will want to use my recipe (coming soon) if you are looking to add it. Other great options include my low-FODMAP eel sauce, sukiyaki sauce, or teriyaki sauce.
Try this easy low-FODMAP Sushi bowl, one of my other low-FODMAP Asian recipes, and you won’t be disappointed! Full of flavor and no sense of missing out.
