Instructions
Make the rice waffles:
- Spray both sides of a mini waffle maker with cooking spray. Preheat the waffle maker.
- Stir the rice vinegar and mirin into the cooked rice.
- When the waffle maker is ready, gently press about 1/2 cup of rice into the waffle maker, making sure the rice is evenly spread out to the edges.
- Close the lid and cook until desired crispiness, about 5-6 minutes, until crispy and slightly golden-brown on the edges.
- Carefully lift the rice waffle out of the waffle maker and let cool on a plate.
- Repeat to make the second rice waffle.
Make the marinade:
- Whisk together the soy sauce, rice vinegar, sesame oil, and ginger in a mixing bowl.
- Add in the cubed salmon and tuna and toss to coat. Marinate for 5 to 10 minutes.
Make the aioli sauce:
- In a small bowl, whisk together the Sriracha sauce and the mayonnaise until well-combined.
Assemble the sushi waffles:
- To assemble the sushi waffles, start with a layer of mashed avocado.
- Add a layer of the salmon and tuna mixture.
- Sprinkle with scallions and Furikake seasoning.
- Place a teaspoon of salmon roe on top. Drizzle with desired amount of Sriracha aioli.
- Repeat to make the second sushi waffle.
Notes
- Make sure to cool the rice waffles before assembling. You don't want those layered ingredients to get warm!
- If you don't eat raw fish, you can always use cooked seafood, like smoked salmon, crab meat, and shrimp.
- I used a mini waffle maker for this dish, but you can also use a full-size waffle maker. You'll just have to cut the waffles into individual serving sizes.
