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.

Recipe FAQ

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.
