Sushi Waffles

Everyone loves sushi and waffles and there's finally a way to combine the two! This recipe calls for sticky rice, a waffle maker, avocado, and your choice of fish and sauce. A popular choice is some salmon with mayo and sriracha, but this dish ultimately leaves you with a lot of creative freedom to choose whatever fish and toppings your want.

Sushi Tacos

This one might seem like a stretch, but if you can pull it off this is another way to serve sushi and come off like a professional chef. For the shells, you'll want to make crispy fried seaweed because sticky rice is more likely to break apart. Once you have your shells, load up your tacos with rice, fish, cucumbers, avocado, sauce, or really whatever your heart desires.

Crispy Rice Spicy Salmon

This dish is a bit more traditional than the previous options but is equally delicious and impressive. For this dish, you'll press sticky rice into a small pan and then let it cool in the fridge. Once it's fully cooled, use a knife to cut the rice into squares (wetting your knife will help it not to stick in this step). You'll then fry the squares of rice in vegetable oil and top them with avocado, lemon juice, sesame seeds, salt, jalapenos, and spicy salmon that you can make by combining salmon with mayonnaise and sriracha. Beware when you are frying the rice that it is guaranteed oil will go everywhere.
