Crispy rice topped with spicy tuna.
Crispy rice is trending and can give your made-at-home sushi a new taste and crunch. Rabbi Chaim Goldberg, the OU fish expert, explains the kosher parameters of buying salmon in this video, and for other fish, here. In this way, you can spice up your favorite fish to be enjoyed on a crispy fried rice square.
How to Make Crispy Rice Squares
Heat up the rice in a pot.
Making crispy rice is a simple process. All you need is rice, rice vinegar, sugar, salt and neutral oil for the frying. The rice itself you heat up in a pot. After cooked, let it steam in the pot for a few minutes. You can separately warm up the rice vinegar, sugar and salt. Then you pour the mixture into the rice. You then place it in a square or rectangular pan and either put in the refrigerator overnight or put it in the refrigerator for an hour and then freeze it for an hour. Then you cut the cold rice block in the pan into small squares and it’s ready to be fried.
Place the heated rice in a square pan, chill it and then cut it into mini squares. It’s now ready to be topped with fish.
For frying, use neutral oil, and fry for about 15 minutes, turning them over in the middle. You’re ready now for your fish topping.
Spicing it Up With Fish Toppings
Spicy tuna is the perfect topping.
Spicy tuna is often used as a topping on crispy rice squares. You merely need to mash up the fish in a bowl and add mayonnaise, soy sauce, lime juice and any of your other desired accompaniments. After that, you just spread it on top of the crispy rice square and have an inimitable crunch combined with your favorite fish delight.
Lovers of salmon can enjoy the unique crunch with the fish.
Salmon is a favorite to many. You can cut up small pieces of salmon to top the crispy rice. Avocado and cucumbers could be extra fillers. There’s also the choice of adding your desired sauces.
Mackerel is a good option for creating a sushi square.
Mackerel is an excellent-tasting fish that would only be enhanced by using crispy rice as the base. Adding olive oil and sesame seeds to the pieces of mackerel is a good taste enhancer.
There’s no reason not to use ordinary tuna fish as a topping to crispy rice.
If you want to go with regular tuna fish that works as well. The tuna can be prepared in the same way it is for regular eating. However, with the crispy rice, it will take on a new dimension.
Conclusion
Homemade sushi can take on a new taste that you never thought imaginable. With crispy rice as the base, you will have an irresistible crunch. Your sushi will never taste the same.
