Cripsy Rice Bites

Print Recipe

Ingredients
  

  • Salmon and/or tuna
  • Sushi rice
  • Spicy mayo store-bought or mayo + sriracha
  • Oil or butter for frying
  • Sliced jalapeños 🌶️
  • Sesame seeds
  • Furikake
  • Eel sauce or soy glaze

Instructions
 

Remove the Fish

  • Carefully peel the tuna and salmon off the sushi rice. This part is oddly satisfying.

Chop the Fish

  • Cut the fish into small, bite-sized pieces. Nothing fancy — rustic is fine.

Mix with Spicy Mayo

  • Toss the chopped fish with spicy mayo until coated. Set aside.

Fry the Rice

  • Heat oil in a pan over medium heat.
  • Add the sushi rice and gently press it into small patties or squares.
  • Let them cook until deeply golden and crispy on one side, then flip.

Assemble

  • Top each crispy rice bite with the spicy fish mixture.
  • Add jalapeños or any toppings you love.

Notes

This is one of those recipes that feels slightly rebellious — like you’re not supposed to mess with grocery store sushi… but you should.
