Description

A delightful twist on sushi, combining crispy rice squares topped with a creamy spicy salmon mixture and fresh avocado.


Ingredients

  • 2 cups cooked sushi rice
  • 2 tbsp rice vinegar
  • 1 tbsp sugar
  • ½ tsp salt
  • Oil (for frying)
  • 8 oz salmon (finely chopped, sushi-grade)
  • 2 tbsp mayonnaise
  • 1 tbsp sriracha sauce
  • 1 teaspoon soy sauce
  • 1 medium avocado (mashed)
  • 1 sliced jalapeño (for garnish)
  • 1 teaspoon black sesame seeds (for garnish)
  • 1 teaspoon white sesame seeds (for garnish)


Instructions

  1. In a medium bowl, combine the cooked sushi rice with rice vinegar, sugar, and salt. Mix it well.
  2. Line a rectangular dish with plastic wrap and press the prepared rice into it to form a uniform layer. Refrigerate for at least 1 to 2 hours.
  3. Once the rice is set, cut it into 12 equal squares.
  4. Heat a skillet with oil and fry the rice squares on both sides until crispy and golden.
  5. Prepare the salmon mixture by combining salmon, mayonnaise, sriracha sauce, and soy sauce in a medium bowl. Mix it well and set aside.
  6. Mash the avocados in another bowl and set aside.
  7. To serve, top the crispy fried rice squares with a dollop of mashed avocado, followed by a tablespoon of the salmon mixture. Garnish with sliced jalapeños, sprinkle with sesame seeds, and drizzle with sriracha.
  8. Transfer the salmon crispy rice to a plate and serve.

Notes

Allow the rice layer plenty of time to chill for the best texture. Use non-stick skillet for easy frying.
