How to Make this Recette Sushi Burger Recipe

1. Rinse the sushi rice under cold water until the water runs clear. Combine the rinsed rice with 2 1/2 cups of water in a medium saucepan. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low, cover, and cook for about 20 minutes, or until the water is absorbed and the rice is tender.

2. In a small bowl, mix together the rice vinegar, sugar, and salt. Heat gently to dissolve the sugar and salt. Once the rice is cooked, transfer it to a large bowl and gently fold in the vinegar mixture. Allow the rice to cool to room temperature.

3. Meanwhile, prepare the fillings: thinly slice the cucumber, avocado, and sushi-grade salmon or tuna. Cut the nori sheets into 4-inch strips.

4. In a small bowl, mix the mayonnaise with the wasabi paste (if using) to make a spicy mayo.

5. Once the rice has cooled, divide it into 8 equal portions. Shape each portion into a compact, thick patty resembling a burger bun.

6. Arrange the sesame seeds on a plate and gently press one side of each rice patty onto the seeds to coat.

7. To assemble the sushi burgers, place a rice patty, sesame side down, on a plate. Top with a lettuce leaf, slices of salmon or tuna, avocado, cucumber, a drizzle of soy sauce, and a strip of nori.

8. Add a spoonful of spicy mayo and a little pickled ginger on top of the fillings.

9. Finish by placing another rice patty on top, sesame side up, to close the burger.

10. Serve immediately to enjoy a delightful fusion twist on a sushi classic.

Pro Tips

1. Perfect Rice Texture Ensure you rinse the sushi rice thoroughly under cold water until the water runs clear. This step is crucial for removing excess starch, which can make the rice too sticky.

2. Flavor Infusion When preparing the vinegar mixture, slightly warming it helps dissolve the sugar and salt efficiently, ensuring even seasoning throughout the rice without clumps.

3. Cool Rice Correctly After folding in the vinegar mixture, spread the rice out to cool quickly and evenly. This prevents it from becoming mushy, preserving the ideal texture for the sushi burgers.

4. Uniform Slicing To achieve a professional look and even distribution of flavors, make sure the salmon or tuna, avocado, and cucumber are sliced uniformly. This not only looks better but ensures each bite has a consistent balance of ingredients.

5. Assemble Just Before Serving Prepare all components in advance but assemble the sushi burgers just before serving to maintain the freshest texture and flavor. This prevents the rice from absorbing moisture from the fillings, keeping the burger intact.
