This recipe went viral on tiktok at one point and I found them very elegant and they looked delicious, so I gave them a go. I like small intricate dishes that can be eaten in 1-3 mouthfuls!
Ingredients
1/2 cup Sushi/short grain rice
1 tbsp rice vinegar
1 fillet of salmon, chopped into small cubes
2 tsp mayonnaise
1 tsp soy sauce
1 tsp sesame oil
1 tsp sriracha
1 spring onion, chopped
black sesame seeds to garnish
optional: nori seaweed or lumpfish caviar + spring onions to garnish
Recipe
Cook rice to package instructions, drain the water and add the vinegar. It should be sticky.
Cool it down on a mat or parchment paper. Place another sheet of parchment paper on top, and flatten with a rolling pin to have a compact and thin (1-1.5cm high) layer of sticky rice. Chill to harden.
Mix the mayonnaise + soy sauce + sesame oil + sriracha + chopped spring onion + cubed salmon in a bowl. Reserve in the fridge until needed.
Cut into small squares of rectangles.
Shallow-fry in hot oil in a pan. Flip. Once golden on both sides, remove and place on kitchen paper towel to remove excess oil.
Place a spoonful of the marinated salmon on top.
Garnish with black sesame seeds, spring onion and / or small piece of nori seaweed.
