  • 1 splash Rice vinegar Optional, for added flavor.

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Cook and cool sushi rice, then spread it on a tray and chill in the fridge to firm up for better frying.
  2. Mix salmon with mayonnaise, sriracha, and soy sauce to create a flavorful topping.
  3. Form the chilled rice into bite-sized rectangles.
Cooking
  1. Heat oil in a pan and shallow fry the rice blocks until golden and crispy on both sides.
  2. Once fried, pile the spicy salmon mix on top.
  3. Garnish with chopped green onions and sesame seeds.

Notes

Ensure the rice is chilled long enough to hold its shape. Use a spatula to handle the rice blocks gently.
