Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups (400 g) cooked white rice
- 1 tablespoon (15 ml) soy sauce
- 1 teaspoon (5 ml) sesame oil
- 1 salmon fillet (fresh or cooked)
- 1 tablespoon (15 ml) rice vinegar
- 2 scallions, thinly sliced
- 1 tablespoon furikake seasoning (optional)
- 2 tablespoons (30 ml) vegetable oil
- Sriracha or chili sauce (optional)
Instructions
- In a mixing bowl, combine cooked white rice, soy sauce, and sesame oil. Mix until the rice is evenly seasoned.
- Using your hands, form the rice into small patties or rectangles, about 2 inches wide and 1 inch thick. Wet your hands slightly to prevent sticking.
- If using fresh salmon, season lightly with salt and pepper, then pan-fry or bake until cooked through. Flake the salmon into bite-sized pieces and set aside.
- Heat vegetable oil in a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Fry the rice cakes for 2-3 minutes per side, or until golden and crispy. Work in batches if needed.
- Top each crispy rice cake with a piece of flaked salmon. Drizzle lightly with soy sauce and sprinkle with furikake seasoning.
- Add sliced scallions and a dollop of sriracha or chili sauce for extra flavor. Serve warm for maximum crunch.
Notes
Day-old rice works best for this recipe as it holds its shape better. Preheat the skillet properly to ensure the rice cakes crisp up quickly.
