For the Crispy Rice
2 cups sushi rice or Japanese short-grain rice, rinsed
3 cups water
1 teaspoon salt
2 teaspoons sugar
2 tablespoons rice vinegar
Vegetable or canola oil, for frying
For the Spicy Salmon
1 pound sushi-grade salmon, finely chopped
1/4 cup mayonnaise (Kewpie preferred)
2 tablespoons sriracha (or more to taste)
1 tablespoon soy sauce
1 tablespoon sesame oil
Pinch of sugar
1/4 cup green onions, finely sliced
For Garnish
Thinly sliced jalapeño (optional)
Toasted sesame seeds
Prepare the Spicy Salmon
Finely chop the sushi-grade salmon and place it in a mixing bowl.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise, sriracha, soy sauce, sesame oil, sugar, and green onions.
Pour the sauce over the salmon and gently mix until evenly combined.
Cover and refrigerate until ready to assemble.
Prepare the Rice
Rinse the sushi rice several times until the water runs clear.
Cook the rice according to package directions or in a rice cooker using 3 cups of water.
In a small bowl, combine the salt, sugar, and rice vinegar.
Pour the mixture over the hot cooked rice and gently fold until evenly distributed.
Freeze the Rice
Line a baking sheet or tray with plastic wrap.
Spread the rice into an even layer about 1 inch thick.
Smooth the surface and cover with another layer of plastic wrap.
Freeze for at least 2 hours or overnight for best results.
Fry the Rice
Remove the rice from the freezer.
Cut into rectangles, squares, circles, or desired shapes.
Heat oil in a deep skillet or pot over medium-high heat.
Fry the rice pieces in batches until golden brown and crispy on both sides.
Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate to drain.
Assemble
Place the crispy rice pieces on a serving platter.
Top each piece with a generous spoonful of spicy salmon mixture.
Garnish with toasted sesame seeds and a slice of jalapeño if desired.
Serve immediately while the rice is still crisp.
Always use fresh, sushi-grade salmon from a trusted source.
Freeze the rice thoroughly before frying to help it maintain its shape.
An air fryer can be used instead of deep frying for a lighter option.
Add diced avocado, cucumber slices, or microgreens for extra texture and flavor.
Assemble just before serving to keep the rice crispy.
