- Why does the rice fall apart when frying?
- You didn't press it together enough, or the rice wasn't sticky enough. Use sushi rice and let it cool a little before shaping.
Sushi Pizza
An invention of Canadian-Japanese fusion cuisine. The essence is the play of textures: the base is a crispy fried rice cake, topped with cool, creamy avocado and fresh fish. The Maillard reaction on the rice (the browned layer) gives a flavour that regular sushi cannot.

Instructions
1
✓
Cook the sushi rice, season with vinegar. Let it cool to lukewarm.
Tip: The starch in the rice (amylopectin) is what makes it stick together.
2
✓
Shape the rice into a flat disc (like a pizza base).
Tip: Wet your hands so it doesn't stick.
3
✓
Fry one side of the rice disc in a little oil until golden brown and crispy.
Tip: This provides the support and the crunchy texture.
4
✓
Place the rice on the nori sheet (optional). Top with sliced salmon and avocado.
Tip: Toppings should be cold for contrast.
5
✓
Drizzle with wasabi mayonnaise and sprinkle with sesame seeds. Slice into wedges.
Tip: Serve immediately before the rice softens.
