- 2 cups sushi rice cooked
- 2 tablespoons rice vinegar
- 1 tablespoon sugar
- 1 cup mayonnaise
- 2 tablespoons sriracha
- 2 tablespoons lime juice
- 8 oz salmon diced
- 5 oz imitation crab chopped or shredded
- 2 medium avocados cut into cubes
- 4 large nori sheets
- chopped green onions garnish
Cook the sushi rice according to the package instructions and transfer it to a bowl. Add the rice vinegar and sugar. Mix well and set aside.
In a small bowl, combine mayonnaise, sriracha, and lime juice. Mix it well.
Add half of the spicy mayo to the diced salmon and the remaining half to the imitation crab. Toss each mixture separately until evenly coated.
Place a nori sheet on a plate and position a ring mold in the center. Add a layer of sushi rice, followed by salmon, avocado, imitation crab, and a final layer of rice.
Carefully remove the ring mold and fold the nori over the stacked rice and fillings until completely covered.
Wrap the nori sushi burger tightly in plastic wrap and let it rest for at least 15 minutes. This helps the layers stay compact before slicing.
Slice the burger vertically, remove the plastic wrap, garnish with chopped green onions, and serve immediately.
