California Roll in a Bowl

Delicious and easy, this salad combines all of my favorite sushi ingredients in one bowl! And, because it's based on a California roll, it uses fully cooked seafood. Submitted by: STEPFANIER

I really liked this soup. It's a little spicy, but not too much. I used all chicken broth since I didn't have vegetable. I served it with crusty bread and a salad for a complete meal. It makes a lot, so I'm going to freeze the leftovers to take in my lunch. I will definitely make this again. - 1/19/15
