- 200 g Salmon Fillet (Skinless, sushi‑grade, cut into 2‑inch pieces)
- 2 tablespoons Mayonnaise (Regular or light)

Instructions
Rinse and Measure Rice
Place 2 cups of short‑grain rice in a fine mesh sieve and rinse under cold water until the water runs clear. Drain well and transfer to the rice cooker inner pot.
Time: PT5M
Add Water and Start Cooker
Add 2.5 cups of water to the rice cooker, close the lid, and select the regular cooking setting.
Time: PT0M
Season and Place Salmon
While the rice begins to heat, pat the salmon fillet dry, season with a pinch of salt and black pepper, and cut into two equal pieces. Gently lay the salmon pieces on top of the rice (the cooker’s steam will cook them).
Time: PT5M
Cook Rice and Salmon
Allow the rice cooker to complete its cooking cycle (approximately 20‑25 minutes). The salmon will steam and become opaque and flaky.
Time: PT25M
Prepare Sriracha Mayo
In a small bowl, combine 2 Tbsp mayonnaise with 2 Tbsp Sriracha sauce. Stir until smooth.
Time: PT2M
Toast Sesame Seeds
Heat a dry skillet over medium heat. Add 1 tsp white sesame seeds and toast, stirring constantly, until they turn golden and fragrant (about 1‑2 minutes). Remove from heat immediately to prevent burning.
Time: PT2M
Finish and Serve
Fluff the rice gently with a spoon, drizzle the Sriracha mayo over the top, and sprinkle toasted sesame seeds. Serve each bowl with a side of chopped kimchi, sliced avocado, and strips of nori seaweed.
Time: PT3M
