Instructions
Creating Salmon Crispy Rice is a straightforward process. Here’s how to do it in a few easy steps:
1. Cook the Sushi Rice: Rinse the sushi rice under cold water until the water runs clear. Combine the rice and water in a pot; bring to a boil. Reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 18-20 minutes until the rice is cooked. Remove from heat and let sit, covered, for 10 minutes.
2. Prepare the Salmon: While the rice is cooling, combine diced salmon with soy sauce, rice vinegar, and sesame oil in a bowl. If using, add wasabi and mix well. Set aside.
3. Fry the Rice: In a large skillet or frying pan, heat a thin layer of vegetable oil over medium heat. Press the cooked rice into the pan, forming an even layer. Cook until the bottom is golden brown and crispy (about 5-7 minutes).
4. Flip the Rice: Carefully flip the rice using a spatula; add a little more oil if needed. Fry the other side until golden brown and crispy (about another 5-7 minutes).
5. Assemble the Dish: Once the rice is crispy, remove it from the pan and cut it into squares or desired shapes. Top each piece with the marinated salmon mixture.
6. Garnish: Sprinkle with chopped green onions and furikake seasoning for an extra flavor kick.
7. Serve Immediately: Serve your Salmon Crispy Rice on plates or with seaweed sheets for wrapping.
