Ingredients
Scale
2 cups sushi rice
3 cups water
1/4 cup rice vinegar
2 tablespoons sugar
1 teaspoon salt
1 pound sushi-grade salmon, diced
2 tablespoons mayonnaise
1 tablespoon sriracha
1 avocado, sliced
Sesame seeds for garnish
Green onions for garnish
Instructions
Rinse the sushi rice under cold water until the water runs clear.
Combine the rice and water in a rice cooker and cook according to the manufacturer’s instructions.
Once cooked, transfer the rice to a bowl and mix in rice vinegar, sugar, and salt. Let it cool.
In a separate bowl, mix the diced salmon with mayonnaise and sriracha until well combined.
Once the rice is cool, form it into small rectangular shapes and fry them in hot oil until golden brown and crispy.
Top each crispy rice piece with a slice of avocado and a spoonful of the spicy salmon mixture.
Garnish with sesame seeds and chopped green onions before serving.
Notes
Ensure the oil is hot enough before frying the rice to achieve maximum crispiness.
Adjust the amount of sriracha based on your spice preference.
These bites are best served fresh but can be prepared in advance and assembled just before serving.
