Salmon Crispy Rice Balls

Ingredients

  • 8 oz Salmon (sushi grade)
  • 1/4 cup Japanese mayo (kewpie)
  • 2 tbsp Sriracha (adjust if you want it less spicy)
  • 1 tsp Sesame oil
  • 1 tsp Tamari
  • 1/2 tsp Sugar
  • 1 tsp White miso paste
  • 1/4 cup Chives (finely chopped and adjust if you want less)
  • Serrano pepper (slices, to taste for topping)
  • Black and white sesame seeds (to taste)
  • 1 cup calrose rice

Steps

  1. 1

    First, rub some sesame oil on your hands and form the rice balls. Then, let sit in the freezer for 40-50 minutes or until hardened but not fully frozen.

  2. 2

    Secondly, add some avocado oil to a pan (enough to coat at least half of the rice balls) and fry the rice on both sides until golden. It was about 3-4 minutes per side.

  3. 3

    Then, finely chop the salmon to the desired consistency.

  4. 4

    Combine the Japanese mayo, sriracha, Tamari, sugar, miso and sesame oil.

  5. 5

    Add in the salmon to the spicy mayo and mix in the chives. Then, let sit in the fridge until everything else is ready.

  6. 6

    Poke a hole in the rice balls with your thumb. Then, using a piping bag fill the crispy rice balls.

  7. 7

    Lastly, top with sesame seeds, Serrano and add the soy sauce to taste.
