Notes

Swap out the toppings to include your favourite veggies or sauces.
Make breaded dynamite shrimp if you're serving this dish right away.
If you don't have sriracha, use hot sauce or even sweet chili sauce.
You can typically find seaweed salad by the grocery's stores prepared foods section (near the sushi).
Store the mason jars in the fridge for up to 5 days. Dump everything into a large bowl then dig in!
Freeze the sushi rice for up to 12 months. Defrost in the fridge overnight then add to your mason jars.
