Avocado Crispy Rice Recipe

SNACKS

1. 1

   Prepare Sushi Rice

   Rinse the sushi rice under cold water until the water runs clear. This removes excess starch.

2. 2

   Cook the Rice

   In a medium saucepan, combine the rinsed sushi rice and 1.5 cups of water. Bring to a boil over medium heat. Once boiling, reduce the heat to low, cover, and simmer for 18-20 minutes or until the water is absorbed.

3. 3

   Season the Rice

   In a small bowl, mix together rice vinegar, sugar, and salt until dissolved. Once the rice is cooked, remove it from heat and let it sit, covered, for 10 minutes. Then transfer to a large bowl and gently fold in the vinegar mixture. Allow it to cool to room temperature.

4. 4

   Prepare Avocado and Jalapeño

   Slice the avocado in half, remove the pit, and scoop the flesh out. Cut it into thin slices. Slice the jalapeño in half, remove seeds for less heat if desired, and cut into thin rings.

5. 5

   Form Rice Cakes

   Once the sushi rice has cooled, wet your hands to prevent sticking. Take a handful of rice and shape it into a compact rectangle or patty. Repeat with the remaining rice.

6. 6

   Fry the Rice Cakes

   In a large skillet, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat. Once hot, carefully add the rice cakes, frying them for about 3-4 minutes on each side until they are golden brown and crispy. Remove and drain on paper towels.

7. 7

   Assemble the Dish

   On each crispy rice cake, layer the avocado slices and jalapeño rings. Drizzle with unagi sauce to taste.

8. 8

   Serve

   Serve immediately while the rice cakes are warm and crispy. Enjoy your Avocado Crispy Rice!
