Ingredients

Scale

Sushi Rice Base

  • 2 cups sushi rice
  • 2 1/2 cups water
  • 1/4 cup rice vinegar

Toppings

  • 6 oz sashimi-grade fresh salmon, thinly sliced
  • 1 ripe avocado, sliced
  • 1/2 cucumber, thinly sliced or julienned
  • Optional: radish slices for extra crunch
  • 2 sheets nori (optional), cut into small strips

Garnishes & Accompaniments

  • Soy sauce or gluten-free tamari for drizzling or dipping
  • Wasabi paste or wasabi mayo
  • Pickled ginger slices
  • Toasted sesame seeds
  • Fresh microgreens or shiso leaves (optional)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Sushi Rice: Rinse sushi rice under cold water until the water runs clear. Cook rice according to package instructions with 2 1/2 cups water. While the rice is still warm, gently fold in rice vinegar. Allow to cool to room temperature.
  2. Preheat and Prepare Your Waffle Iron: Lightly grease the waffle iron with a neutral oil to prevent sticking. Preheat thoroughly to ensure the rice crisps properly.
  3. Form Rice Waffles: Scoop a generous amount of sushi rice onto the heated waffle iron. Press lightly to spread evenly. Close the waffle iron and cook for about 5 minutes or until the rice forms a crisp, golden, waffle-like crust.
  4. Slice and Prepare Toppings: While the waffles cook, thinly slice the fresh salmon, avocado, cucumber, and any additional toppings. Arrange them so they are ready to top the waffles immediately.
  5. Assemble Salmon Sushi Waffles: Carefully remove the crisped rice waffles from the iron. Layer fresh salmon slices on each waffle, followed by creamy avocado and crunchy vegetables. Sprinkle toasted sesame seeds on top and drizzle with soy sauce or wasabi mayo as desired. Garnish with pickled ginger and microgreens or shiso leaves if using.

Notes

  • Use fresh, high-quality sashimi-grade salmon for best flavor and safety.
  • Don’t overfill the waffle iron with rice to ensure crispiness.
  • Keep your hands wet when handling sushi rice to prevent sticking.
  • Preheat the waffle iron well for a crisp exterior on the rice waffles.
  • Serve immediately for optimal texture and flavor.
