How to Make a Sushi Bowl

Our family is a loves sushi. However, I know how expensive sushi can be. Thanks for my BFF, we discovered how to make a sushi bowl (some may call this a sushi poke bowl, tomato/tomahto) that we can make at home that would 1) satisfy us until our next visit to the our favorite sushi place and 2) was cost effective. 

I love making sushi bowls because they are so easy to make. I can just grab the ingredients and make them that night in under 30 minutes.
