- Sushi rice — Rinse the rice thoroughly before cooking to remove excess starch and prevent the rice from becoming too sticky.
- Hoisin sauce — Look for a hoisin sauce that is low in sodium and free of artificial flavors and preservatives.
- Soy sauce — Use a low-sodium soy sauce to reduce the overall sodium content of the dish.
- Sriracha sauce — Adjust the amount of sriracha sauce to your personal taste preferences.
