SUSHI BURGER

Say hello to the sushi burger recipe, where sushi meets burger in the most delicious way possible! Imagine all the flavors you love in sushi: fresh fish, crunchy veggies, creamy sauces, piled between rice “rolls” for a fun variation you can take home. It’s the best of both worlds, with a little crunch, a lot of flavor, and a lot of taste. Perfect for sushi lovers looking for something new or for anyone who enjoys an exciting fusion bite!

INGREDIENTS YOU NEED:

• Seaweed Sheet (nori): This gives the sushi burger an authentic sushi flavor and adds a slightly salty, umami flavor.

• Sushi Rice (cooked and chilled): The base of your “rolls.” Sushi rice is sticky enough to hold its shape, creating the perfect container for your fillings.

• Raw Salmon (or Shrimp): High-quality, fresh raw salmon is ideal for that classic sushi feel, but you can also substitute cooked shrimp if you prefer a different taste or texture.

• Avocado: Creamy and buttery, avocado adds richness and a fresh contrast to the other ingredients.Siracha Sauce: For a little spice! Mix with mayonnaise to create a tangy, delicious sauce that brings everything together.

• Mayonnaise: Creamy mayonnaise balances the spiciness of Sriracha and adds a smooth texture to the sushi burger.

• Flour: Used for coating, it helps create a crispy layer when frying your proteins.

• Cornstarch: Mixed with flour, cornstarch gives the fried coating extra crunch.

• Water: Used to make a slurry of flour and pork to dip in before frying.

• Panko Breadcrumbs: Light and crunchy breadcrumbs, panko create a delicate and crispy outer coating for your fried shrimp or salmon.

• Frying Oil: Be sure to use a neutral oil like vegetable oil or canola oil for frying. It ensures that your fried ingredients come out crispy and golden without adding too much flavor.

  
  
  

TIPS TO MAKE THE BEST SUSHI BURGER

• Use sticky sushi rice: Cook the sushi rice thoroughly and let it cool slightly before forming the buns. If it is too hot or too cold, the rice will not hold its shape. Wet your hands with water when shaping the rice so it doesn’t stick

• Press the rice firmly: When shaping the rice into “rolls,” make sure to press firmly so it doesn’t break. You want them to hold their shape while still maintaining a bit of chew.

• High-quality fish: Use high-quality, fresh raw salmon or shrimp for the best flavor. If you’re not sure about using raw fish, lightly fry or bake it for a tasty alternative.

• Double Coat for Extra Crispiness: When frying your salmon or shrimp, coat them twice with the flour, cornstarch, and panko mixture. This ensures maximum crunch and a perfect golden brown color.

• Don’t Overfill: While it’s tempting to load your burger with all the toppings, keep it manageable so you can actually bite into it! Balance the ingredients for the perfect bite.

• Customize Your Sauce: The combination of mayo and sriracha is a classic, but feel free to experiment with other sauces like teriyaki, soy sauce, or even a wasabi mayonnaise for an extra kick.

• Let the nori add texture: Add a piece of nori (seaweed sheet) between the rice and the filling to give your sushi burger that authentic sushi flavor while adding a slight crunch and preventing it from soggy.

• Chill before serving: Once assembled, chill your sushi burger for a few minutes to let it rise and firm up. This allows the rice cakes to stay intact when you bite into them.

• Serve cold: Sushi burgers are best fresh, so assemble them just before serving to keep everything crispy and flavorful.
