Step-by-Step Instructions for Crispy Rice Salmon
- Rinse the sushi rice under cold water until the water runs clear to remove excess starch. Cook the rice with water, bring to a boil, then reduce to low heat for about 15 minutes.
- In a bowl, whisk together salt, rice vinegar, sugar, and toasted sesame oil until dissolved. Fold into cooked rice and let it cool.
- Spread the seasoned rice in a lined baking tray, press down and refrigerate for at least 3 hours.
- Cut the chilled rice into bite-sized rectangles and pat moisture off each piece.
- Heat oil in a skillet over medium-high heat and fry rice pieces for 2-3 minutes per side until golden brown. Drain on a wire rack.
- Combine chopped salmon with Kewpie mayonnaise, yuzu kosho, yuzu juice, soy sauce, and sesame oil until well mixed.
- Assemble the bites by topping each piece of crispy rice with the salmon mixture and garnishing with cucumbers, sesame seeds, and green onions.
