🛒 Ingredients

✓ 1 cup cooked sushi rice (cooled)
✓ 1 tsp rice vinegar
✓ 1/4 tsp sea salt
✓ Cooking spray (oil mist)
✓ 2 oz sashimi-grade salmon or cooked shrimp
✓ 1/4 ripe avocado, thinly sliced
✓ 1 sheet nori (seaweed), cut into strips
✓ 1 tbsp diced cucumber
✓ 3 tbsp plain Greek yogurt (0% fat)
✓ 1/2 tsp sriracha
✓ 1/2 lime, juiced
✓ 1 tsp rice vinegar
✓ 1 pinch wasabi powder (optional)
✓ 1 tsp pickled ginger, minced

👨‍🍳 Instructions

1. Prepare the sushi rice base: If rice is warm, spread on a plate to cool completely (10 minutes). This prevents the coating from becoming soggy. Mix cooled rice with rice vinegar and salt in a small bowl.

2. Form rice patties: Wet your hands lightly to prevent sticking. Form 6–8 golf-ball-sized portions of sushi rice, then gently press into flat discs about 2 inches wide and 1/2 inch thick on a parchment-lined tray.

3. Air-crisp the rice coating: Lightly mist each rice patty with cooking spray on both sides. Air-fry at 375°F (190°C) for 8–10 minutes, shaking the basket halfway, until edges turn golden and rice grains are crispy. Set aside on a cooling rack for 2 minutes.

4. Make the Greek yogurt sauce: Whisk together Greek yogurt, sriracha, lime juice, rice vinegar, and wasabi powder in a small bowl until smooth. Fold in minced pickled ginger. Taste and adjust heat with more sriracha if desired.

5. Assemble the sushi bites: Once rice patties have cooled slightly, top each with a thin layer of Greek yogurt sauce (1/2 tsp per bite). Layer salmon or shrimp, avocado slice, cucumber dice, and a small strip of nori on top.

6. Plate and serve immediately: Arrange bites on a plate with extra sauce on the side for dipping. Serve within 5 minutes while rice is still crispy. Garnish with sesame seeds and additional pickled ginger if desired.
