Sushi waffles

Ingredients

• 1 cup Short-Grain Sushi Rice (Rinsed until water runs clear)
• 1 cup Water (For cooking rice)
• 2 tablespoons Rice Wine Vinegar (Adds tanginess)
• 1 tablespoon Mirin (Adds sweetness; can increase to 1.5 tbsp for sweeter rice)
• 1 teaspoon Salt (Fine sea salt preferred)
• 1 Ripe Avocado (Sliced thinly)
• 4 ounces Sashimi‑Grade Salmon (Thinly sliced; ensure freshness)
• 1 tablespoon Soy Sauce (For drizzling; use low‑sodium if desired)
• as needed Cooking Spray (Lightly spray waffle plates to prevent sticking)

Instructions

1. Rinse and Cook Sushi Rice

   Place the short‑grain rice in a fine mesh sieve and rinse under cold water until the water runs clear. Transfer to a rice cooker or saucepan, add 1 cup water, and cook according to the rice cooker setting or bring to a boil, then simmer covered for 12‑15 minutes until tender.

   Time: PT15M

2. Season the Rice

   When the rice is done, transfer it to a large mixing bowl. Sprinkle 1 tsp salt, 2 tbsp rice wine vinegar, and 1 tbsp mirin over the hot rice. Gently fold with a wooden spoon or rice paddle until evenly coated. Let the rice sit for 5 minutes to absorb the flavors.

   Time: PT5M

3. Prepare Toppings

   While the rice rests, slice the avocado into thin strips and the salmon into bite‑size pieces. Set aside on a plate.

   Time: PT5M

4. Preheat Waffle Maker

   Plug in the waffle maker and set it to medium‑high heat (about 350°F if the model shows temperature). Lightly spray both plates with cooking spray.

   Time: PT3M

   Temperature: 350°F

5. Cook Sushi Rice Waffle

   Spoon a generous mound (≈½ cup) of seasoned sushi rice onto the center of the waffle iron. Close the lid and cook for 5‑7 minutes, or until the rice is golden‑brown and crisp on the outside.

   Time: PT7M

   Temperature: 350°F

6. Assemble the Sushi Waffle

   Using the spatula, carefully remove the crispy rice waffle and place it on a serving plate. Top with avocado strips and salmon pieces, then drizzle 1 tbsp soy sauce over the top.

   Time: PT2M

   Eat the sushi waffle with chopsticks or a fork. Optionally, add extra soy sauce or a squeeze of lime for brightness.
