Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 2 cups (473 milliliters) sushi rice, cooked and cooled
- 200 grams (7 ounces) fresh salmon, finely diced
- 1 avocado, sliced
Seasoning and Sauce Ingredients:
- 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
- 2 tablespoons mayonnaise
- 1 tablespoon soy sauce
- 1 teaspoon sriracha sauce
- 1 teaspoon sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
Garnish and Cooking Ingredients:
- 1 tablespoon sesame oil for frying
- 1 teaspoon sesame seeds
- 1 green onion, chopped
Instructions
- Blend freshly cooked sushi rice with rice vinegar, sugar, and salt until thoroughly incorporated, allowing the mixture to reach room temperature.
- Craft compact, uniform rice patties using gentle pressure, ensuring they maintain structural integrity.
- Warm sesame oil in a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat (around 375°F), carefully positioning rice cakes to achieve a golden, crisp exterior, approximately 3-4 minutes per side.
- Prepare salmon mixture by dicing fish and blending with creamy mayonnaise, fiery sriracha, and umami-rich soy sauce until ingredients are evenly distributed.
- Layer crisp rice foundations with silky avocado slices, generously crown with zesty salmon blend, and delicately sprinkle toasted sesame seeds and finely chopped green onions.
- Present immediately to preserve textural contrast between crunchy rice and luscious salmon topping, maximizing flavor and temperature appeal.
Notes
- Achieve perfect rice texture by using short-grain sushi rice and maintaining consistent moisture while mixing with vinegar seasoning.
- Prevent rice patties from falling apart by chilling mixture in refrigerator for 15-20 minutes before shaping and frying, which helps bind ingredients.
- Control heat carefully when frying rice patties to ensure golden-brown crispy exterior without burning, using medium-low temperature and non-stick pan.
- Create gluten-free version by substituting regular soy sauce with tamari and ensuring mayonnaise is gluten-free certified.
