Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients
- 4 oz salmon filet
- 1 ½ cups cooked short-grain rice
- 2 ice cubes
- 1 tsp soy sauce
- 1 tbsp Kewpie Japanese mayonnaise (add more if necessary)
- 1 tsp sriracha
- 1 avocado, sliced
- 2 packs roasted seaweed sheets
Optional Toppings
- Kimchi (optional, served on the side)
- Furikake (optional topping)
- Fried garlic (optional topping)
Instructions
- Prepare the Salmon: Place the salmon in a shallow bowl and remove the skin. Use a fork to flake the fish into smaller pieces and spread it evenly in the bowl.
- Add the Rice: Scoop the cooked short-grain rice onto the flaked salmon, then use the fork to evenly distribute the rice to ensure it heats uniformly.
- Add Ice Cubes: Place one or two ice cubes on top of the rice to help create steam while microwaving. Alternatively, sprinkle 1-2 tablespoons of water evenly over the rice if preferred.
- Cover and Steam: Cover the bowl with parchment paper or a hand towel, molding it over the rice and salmon to trap steam during cooking.
- Microwave Steaming: Cook the bowl in the microwave for 2 to 3 minutes, checking every minute to ensure the salmon and rice are thoroughly heated. Remove the cover and any remaining ice cubes once done.
- Add Sauces: Drizzle soy sauce, Kewpie mayonnaise, and sriracha over the rice mixture.
- Mix Well: Use a fork to thoroughly mix all ingredients for a well-blended, flavorful bowl. Adjust seasoning by adding more soy sauce, mayo, or sriracha if desired.
- Add Toppings: Optionally sprinkle furikake and fried garlic on top for added texture and flavor.
- Serve: Place a roasted seaweed sheet on a plate, add a scoop of the salmon rice mixture, top with sliced avocado, and enjoy. Serve kimchi on the side if desired.
