Instructions
Cook sushi rice to package instructions (or follow my simple recipe!)
While rice is cooking...
Prepare sushi vinegar mixture, combining rice vinegar, white sugar and salt. Mix until sugar and salt are fully dissolved.
Thinly slice fresh cucumber and avocado.
Mix mayo and sriracha in a small bowl. If available move this mix into a squeeze bottle (for nicer presentation when the time comes)
If you have completed these tasks and the rice is still cooking, put your feet up, you deserve it for being so efficient.
Once rice is cooked and ready for you...
Allow rice to cool to temperature you are comfortable touching with your bare hands.
With a spoon, gradually mix together cooked rice with vinegar mixture. Be sure not to allow the rice to become too wet, otherwise it will not stick together.
Once correct consistency is found. create a ball of rice and flatten between your palms. Roll until fully covered in flour or rice flour in the first
Prepare 3 wide/flat bowls or medium sized plates: 1. flour or rice flour 2. egg, beaten 3. panko
In order, coat rice cakes with flour, then egg, then panko.
Place directly in preheated, medium heat oil. Cook for 10-12 minutes or until rice cake/patty is a nice golden brown.
Assemble "Pizzas"
First, drizzle a light layer of sriracha mayo over top.
Place cucumber, avocado and chopped fish on top of sushi cake.
Drizzle again, garnish and enjoy!
Notes
Use your imagination. If you can dream it, you can eat it!
