Ingredients
Scale
2 cups sushi rice
2 1/2 cups water
1/4 cup rice vinegar
1 tablespoon sugar
1 teaspoon salt
1 pound fresh salmon, diced
1 avocado, sliced
1/4 cup soy sauce
1 tablespoon sesame oil
1/4 cup green onions, chopped
1 tablespoon sesame seeds
Oil for frying
Instructions
Rinse the sushi rice under cold water until the water runs clear.
Combine the rice and water in a pot and bring to a boil. Reduce heat, cover, and simmer for 20 minutes.
In a small bowl, mix rice vinegar, sugar, and salt until dissolved. Stir into the cooked rice and let cool.
Once cooled, press the rice into a flat layer in a baking dish and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.
Cut the rice into bite-sized squares and heat oil in a pan over medium heat.
Fry the rice squares until golden and crispy on both sides, about 2-3 minutes per side.
In a bowl, combine diced salmon, soy sauce, sesame oil, and green onions.
Top each crispy rice square with a slice of avocado and a spoonful of the salmon mixture.
Garnish with sesame seeds and serve immediately.
Notes
For a spicier kick, add sriracha to the salmon mixture.
Ensure the oil is hot enough before frying to achieve maximum crispiness.
These bites are best served fresh but can be stored in the refrigerator for a few hours.
