Sharing my favorite Crispy Rice Recipe! Inspired by the dish we all love to order anytime it is on a menu.

Prep Time: 3 hours - overnight
Cook Time: 15 minutes
Total Time: 0 hours

Yield: Makes about 20 pieces 1x

Instructions

Place the sushi rice in a colander, rinse throughly and let it drain
Cook rice per instructions on package
While rice cooks, mix together rice vinegar, coconut sugar and salt in a small bowl
Transfer the rice to a large bowl then mix the vinegar mixture in the bowl
Line a baking sheet with parchment paper then spread the rice out across so it is about 1 inch high (or however thick you want it!)
Add the sheet to fridge to set for at least 3 hours. I like to do this overnight
Next prepare the fish topping but cutting the crab into smaller pieces then add in the mayo, hot sauce, coconut aminos and oil and store in fridge
Remove rice from fridge and slice the rice into 2 inch pieces
Thinly coat a large pan with oil and heat over medium/high
Gently add the rice squares to the pan and crisp until golden (don’t flip too soon or rice will come apart – I crisped bout 3-5 minutes on each side)
Drain on a wire rack or paper towel lined plate/tray
Top the crispy rice with the crab, jalapeño and sesame seeds and enjoy!

Notes

*Store leftovers in fridge for a day or so
