Sushi Waffle Recipe
Sushi waffle is a recipe that has become quite popular on Tiktok lately. I don't try every Tiktok recipe I see and I don't even find most of them appetizing, but as soon as I saw this, I realized that it was just for me and I decided to try it as soon as possible.
I only consider it my duty to correct a material mistake related to the recipe. They called the recipe sushi waffle, but actually it should be crispy rice waffle. The food that is cooked like sushi rice and then fried is called crispy rice. However, since the recipe is famous with the name of sushi waffle, I found it right to share it with this name.
Adding my own little interpretation to the recipe, instead of using raw sushi fish, I used baked salmon. In this way, the combination of hot fish and cold cucumber on hot crispy rice became a delicious warm meal. By the way, salmon is not necessary. You can use the large size fish you want by cleaning the skin and bones. If you want to make it vegan, you can use oyster mushrooms with soy sauce or boiled red beans.
By the way, it would be useful to say a few words about the cooking process. Because in Tiktok videos, everything is prepared and cooked in seconds, and they don't face any problems, but unfortunately, real life is not like that. My first waffle stuck to the waffle maker even though I greased it. When I realized that if I opened the lid on the second time, I would experience the same thing, I decided to reset the heat and wait for the machine to cool. This method worked. It may be entirely related to my machine, but it's not surprising that the rice sticks to the waffle maker. Keep it in mind if you have a similar problem.
The heat setting of the machine I use has 6 levels. I cooked it for about 7 minutes at a setting like 4.5, and I turned off the heat and kept it waiting for another 7 minutes. In other words, it took about 15 minutes for only a waffle to cook. Briefly it is a recipe that takes a lot of time to cook the rice, cool it, prepare the fish, and chop the other ingredients. It can be done as a weekend activity, its taste is worth the effort. But although it gives such a vibe, it is not a practical recipe that can be prepared after work on weekdays.
