Ingredients

  • 0.1 teaspoon pepper black freshly ground
  • cups sushi rice cooked (from a Japanese restaurant)
  • tablespoons grape tomatoes finely chopped
  •  spring onion chopped
  • 0.3 teaspoon kosher salt 
  • teaspoons juice of lime 
  • 2.5 tablespoons mayonnaise 
  • teaspoon orange juice 
  • ounces salmon cut into 1/4-inch cubes
  • 0.3 teaspoon sesame oil 

Equipment

  • bowl
  • muffin tray

Directions

  1. Combine all the ingredients except the rice in a bowl.
  2. To make the sushi-rice blocks, use an ice-cube tray as a mold (small cups, mini-muffin tins, and tartlet pans will also work). Prepare the mold by sprinkling it lightly with water.
  3. Press the rice into the tray squares, then use your finger to push a hole 3/4 of the way into each square.
  4. Turn the mold upside down onto waxed paper, and tap until the squares fall out.
  5. Fill each hole with about a teaspoon of the salmon mixture and serve.
  6. If you don't have a sushi restaurant within delivery distance, you can also use rice from a Chinese restaurant.
  7. Let it cool to room temperature, drizzle it with a mixture of 3 tablespoons rice vinegar, 1 1/2 tablespoons sugar, and 1/2 teaspoon salt, then stir to combine.
