Ingredients
- 3 ounces cooked salmon, flaked
- 1 cup cooked white rice
- 1 tablespoon soy sauce
- ½ teaspoon sriracha or other hot sauce
- 2 teaspoons Japanese mayonnaise (such as Kewpie®)
- 1 sheet nori, torn
- ½ ripe avocado, sliced
- ¼ cup kimchi
Instructions
- Use a fork to flake salmon onto a microwave-safe plate. Top with rice and place 1 ice cube on top. Cover with a microwave-safe lid and microwave at low power for 30 seconds. Uncover and check temperature. If salmon and rice are not warm enough, cover and return to the microwave for another 30 seconds at low power.
- Uncover and remove ice cube. Drizzle soy sauce, Sriracha and mayonnaise over the top and toss everything with a fork until well-combined.
- Garnish with torn pieces of nori, sliced avocado and kimchi.
- You can use any type of mayonnaise in this recipe and any type of rice, even brown or short grain Japanese sushi rice.
- Save time by purchasing pre-cooked salmon for this recipe.
- If you don’t have a microwave, an oven will work too. Place salmon, rice and ice cube on a large piece of foil on a baking sheet and fold foil up around the sides to seal. Cook at 350 degrees F (175 degrees C) for 10 minutes and proceed with the recipe as written.
Reviews
I was pleasantly surprised with how good this was. I used Japanese BBQ sauce instead of soy and it turned out really well. A very fast and easy bowl to make when in a pinch. If you aren’t into salmon, you can substitute it with any other kind of protein.
