Ingredients

  • 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

Instructions

  • 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.
