Serves:
Ingredients
- 2 cups cooked sushi rice
- 1/4 cup rice vinegar
- 3 tablespoons sugar
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 cup vegetable oil
- 4 ounces sushi-grade fish (such as tuna or salmon), thinly sliced
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon sesame oil
- 1 green onion, thinly sliced
- 1 teaspoon sesame seeds
Instructions
-
In a small saucepan, heat the rice vinegar, sugar, and salt over low heat until the sugar has dissolved. Set aside to cool.
-
In a large bowl, mix the cooked sushi rice with the vinegar mixture until well combined. Let it cool slightly.
-
Spread the rice onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, pressing it down to form a thin layer. Place in the refrigerator for about 15 minutes to firm up.
-
Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Carefully transfer the chilled rice onto a cutting board and cut into bite-size squares.
-
Working in batches, fry the rice squares in the hot oil until crispy and golden brown, about 2 minutes per side. Remove with a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels.
-
In a small bowl, mix together the soy sauce, sesame oil, green onion, and sesame seeds.
-
To serve, top each crispy rice square with a slice of sushi-grade fish and drizzle with the soy sauce mixture. Serve immediately.
