Crispy Rice Ingredients

Method

Preparation Directions

  1. 1

    Prepare Sushi Rice

    Rinse the sushi rice under cold water until the water runs clear. Combine the rice and water in a rice cooker or pot and cook according to package instructions. Once cooked, let it cool slightly.

  2. 2

    Season the Rice

    In a small bowl, mix the rice vinegar, sugar, and salt until dissolved. Gently fold this mixture into the warm rice to season it. Allow the rice to cool completely.

  3. 3

    Form Rice Patties

    Once the rice has cooled, wet your hands and take a small amount of rice to form into rectangular patties, about 2 inches long and 1 inch wide.

  4. 4

    Fry the Rice Patties

    In a large skillet, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat. Fry the rice patties in batches until they are golden brown and crispy, about 3-4 minutes per side. Drain on paper towels.

  5. 5

    Prepare Hamachi

    Thinly slice the hamachi into bite-sized pieces.

  6. 6

    Assemble and Serve

    Top each crispy rice patty with a piece of hamachi. Drizzle with soy sauce and garnish with wasabi and sesame seeds as desired. Serve immediately.
