Ingredients

Scale
  • 1.5 cups dry short grain sushi rice
  • 2 cups water
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 3 tablespoons rice vinegar
  • 1 tablespoon granulated sugar
  • 1 pound sushi-grade salmon
  • 3 tablespoons Kewpie mayonnaise
  • 2 cucumbers (thinly sliced)
  • 2 teaspoons sesame oil

Instructions

  1. Rinse the sushi rice under cold water until the water runs clear. In a medium saucepan, combine rice, water, and salt; bring to boil. Cover and simmer on low for about 15 minutes, then let sit off heat for another 10 minutes.
  2. Mix rice vinegar, sugar, and sesame oil in a small bowl until dissolved; fold into the cooled rice.
  3. Dice salmon and combine with Kewpie mayonnaise, yuzu kosho, yuzu juice, and soy sauce.
  4. Heat sesame oil in a frying pan over medium-high heat. Form rice into small squares or rectangles (½ inch thick) using wet hands. Fry until golden brown on both sides (about 3–4 minutes each).
  5. Assemble by placing the crispy rice bases on a platter and topping each with the salmon mixture and garnishing with sliced cucumbers.
