Method

Prepare Sushi Rice

    Cook the Rice

    Rinse the sushi rice under cold water until the water runs clear. Combine the rinsed rice and water in a rice cooker and cook according to the manufacturer's instructions.

  2. 2

    Season the Rice

    Once the rice is cooked, transfer it to a large bowl. Mix the rice vinegar, sugar, and salt in a small bowl until dissolved and then gently fold it into the rice. Allow to cool to room temperature.

Prepare Spicy Hotate Filling

    Mix the Filling

    In a bowl, combine the diced scallops, mayonnaise, sriracha, green onions, sesame oil, and salt. Mix well until evenly combined.

Assemble the Cones

  1. 4

    Shape the Nori

    Cut the nori sheets in half. Form each half into a cone shape and secure with a little water.

  2. 5

    Fill the Cones

    Spoon the sushi rice into the bottom of each nori cone, then add a generous amount of the spicy hotate filling on top.
