Instructions

  1. Prepare the Salmon Topping: Finely chop sushi-grade salmon. In a separate bowl, mix mayo, sriracha, soy sauce, sesame oil, sugar, and green onions. Combine with the salmon, mix thoroughly, and refrigerate until ready to serve.

  2. Cook the Rice: Rinse sushi rice until water runs clear. Cook according to package directions using a stovetop or rice cooker.

  3. Season the Rice: Mix salt, sugar, and rice vinegar in a bowl. Stir into the cooked rice until fully blended.

  4. Mold and Freeze the Rice: Spread the rice onto a plastic wrap-lined sheet tray. Flatten evenly, cover with another layer of plastic wrap, and freeze for 2 hours or overnight for best results.

  5. Cut and Fry: Remove frozen rice, cut into preferred shapes (cubes, circles, or rectangles). Heat oil in a deep pot, fry rice pieces until crispy and golden. Drain on paper towels.

  6. Assemble Bites: Top each crispy rice piece with spicy salmon mix. Garnish with sesame seeds and a slice of jalapeño, if using.
