Salmon Crispy Rice Bites (Print Version)

# Ingredients:

→ Crispy Rice

01 - 600 g cooked sushi rice (short grain)
02 - 30 ml rice vinegar
03 - 12 g granulated sugar
04 - 5 g fine salt
05 - Vegetable oil, for shallow frying

→ Spicy Salmon

06 - 450 g sushi-grade salmon fillet
07 - 60 g Kewpie mayonnaise
08 - 30 ml sriracha sauce
09 - 15 g scallion, finely sliced
10 - 10 ml soy sauce
11 - 10 ml toasted sesame oil

→ Serving

12 - 1 ripe avocado, sliced
13 - 1 jalapeño, thinly sliced
14 - Toasted black and white sesame seeds, for garnish

# Instructions:

01 - In a small bowl, blend rice vinegar, sugar, and salt until the sugar dissolves fully. Pour the seasoned vinegar over the warm sushi rice and fold gently to distribute evenly.
02 - Transfer the seasoned rice onto a tray lined with plastic wrap. Press the rice gently to form an even layer, cover, and refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight.
03 - Dice salmon into small cubes and place in a bowl. Add Kewpie mayonnaise, sriracha, soy sauce, scallion, and sesame oil. Mix thoroughly. Cover and refrigerate until needed.
04 - After chilling, cut the rice into 16 uniform rectangles. Heat vegetable oil in a pan over medium heat. Fry rice pieces on both sides until crisp and golden, then drain on paper towels.
05 - Top each crispy rice rectangle with a slice of avocado, a generous spoonful of spicy salmon mixture, and slices of jalapeño. Garnish with toasted black and white sesame seeds. Serve immediately.

# Notes:

01 - Ensure salmon is sushi-grade for safe raw consumption.
02 - For best results, use freshly cooked and cooled short grain rice; avoid substituting with long grain rice.
