Aperitivo hour: Part 2 🤭 Spicy Salmon Sesame Rice Cakes - the perfect looks good, tastes even better appetiser that’ll be gone in minutes. Think spicy salmon with cool and crunchy cucumber, sesame coated rice, furikake seasoning and spring onion curls to garnish. Recipe below, continues in full on my website via link in bio! Save for the next time you host aperitivo hour at home.

Ingredients:
Serves 10-12 - as an appetiser
- 300g sashimi grade salmon, diced into small cubes
- 1 lebanese cucumber, core removed to reduce excess moisture, finely chopped
- 2-3 stalks spring onion,finely chopped

For the salmon dressing
- 1/3 cup kewpie mayonnaise
- 1 tbsp wasabi
- 1 tsp mirin
- 1 tsp sesame oil
- 1 tsp rice wine vinegar
- 1 tsp tamari
- Juice of ½ to 1 lime, depending consistency/acidity of dressing

For the crispy sesame rice
- 1 ½ cups sushi rice
- 1 tbsp rice wine vinegar
- 1 tsp mirin
- Pinch salt
- ½ cup white sesame seeds
- ½ cup black sesame seeds
- ½ cup all purpose flour (or starch), optional can work without but this acts as a binder so cakes hold their shape
- 2 eggs
- Neutral oil, for shallow frying

To garnish
- Sprinkle Furikake seasoning
- Spring onion curls, tops - green parts of 2 stalks finely sliced and soaked in ice bath

Disclaimer: I made two batches - one with medium-grain rice and one with short-grain rice. A short-grain rice I.e. sushi rice is starchier and firmer when chilled in the fridge overnight so I recommend doing this. You can also opt to coat in flour/starch pre egg as a binder.
