Crispy Rice with Salmon

Ingredients

• 250 g leftover sticky rice (Cooked; pack firmly into a container and freeze to firm up.)
• 1 salmon fillet (Large; use good-quality sushi-grade salmon suitable for raw consumption, finely cubed.)
• 1 tbsp Kewpie mayonnaise
• 1 tbsp toasted sesame oil
• 1 tsp hot sauce (Or more, to taste.)
• 1 tsp soy sauce (The source calls this “soya sauce.”)
• 0.5 tsp rice wine vinegar
• 1 garlic (Clove, minced.)
• 1 inch piece ginger (Minced.)
• 1 spring onion (Stalk, finely chopped.)
• 0.5 lime (Squeeze over the salmon mixture.)
• 0.5 avocado (Thinly sliced; season before placing on the rice.)
• jalapeño (For serving; slice. Amount not specified.)
• sesame seeds (For serving; amount not specified.)
• neutral frying oil (About 1 cm deep in the pan; amount depends on pan size.)
• salt (Season the avocado; amount not specified.)

Steps

1. 1

   Press the leftover sticky rice firmly into a container, compacting it into an even layer. Freeze for about 2 hours, until firm enough to cut.

2. 2

   Remove the firm rice from the container and cut it into squares. If the pieces are uneven, they can be trimmed after frying.

3. 3

   Pour frying oil into a pan to a depth of about 1 cm and heat it. Add the rice squares and fry until golden on each side.

4. 4

   While the rice fries, finely cube the salmon and place it in a bowl.

5. 5

   Add the Kewpie mayonnaise, toasted sesame oil, hot sauce, soy sauce, rice wine vinegar, minced garlic, minced ginger, chopped spring onion, and lime to the salmon. Mix to combine.

6. 6

   If needed, trim the fried rice squares to neaten their edges.

7. 7

   Slice the avocado thinly, season it, and lay slices on the crispy rice.

8. 8

   Spoon some salmon mixture onto each piece. Finish with sesame seeds and a slice of jalapeño, then serve. Repeat with the remaining ingredients.

Notes

The transcript specifies sushi-grade salmon that has been safely frozen and defrosted for raw consumption. The source does not specify the quantity of jalapeño, sesame seeds, or frying oil, nor the rice-square size. Tortillas are mentioned as an optional way to scoop up leftover salmon mixture, but no quantity is given.
