3 cups of cooked short-grain sushi rice
03 -
Vegetable oil for frying
04 -
1 teaspoon of salt
05 -
1 tablespoon of sugar

06 -
2 teaspoons sesame oil
07 -

Ripe avocado slices
# Steps:
01 -
Mix the rice vinegar, sugar, and salt in a little bowl until it’s dissolved. Pour this over your warm, cooked rice and mix carefully to coat all the grains.
02 -
Put some plastic wrap in a baking tray, spread out your rice, and gently press it into a flat layer. Cover up and chill for at least 4 hours or even overnight.
03 -
Cut up the sushi-grade salmon into small chunks. Toss it with mayo, sriracha, soy sauce, sesame oil, and scallions in a bowl. Keep it cool in the fridge until you’re ready.
04 -
Cut your chilled rice into 16 little rectangles. Heat up some vegetable oil on medium, toss the rice pieces in, and fry until they’re nice and golden on both sides. Let them rest on paper towels to soak up extra oil.
05 -
Take each crispy rice piece, add a slice of avocado, a dollop of spicy salmon mix, and a jalapeño slice on top. Sprinkle some toasted sesame seeds for extra flavor, and dig in immediately.
