Fresh and delicious meals from my kitchen.

Crispy rice cakes with spicy salmon, avocado & salmon roe.

Jump to Recipe Print Recipe

I’ve seen crispy rice cakes all over the internet, so I had to give them a go. I put my own spin on it and added salmon roe, avocado mash and cucumber for freshness. They were soooo good and super easy to make!

Make sure you grab sashimi-grade Salmon (you can sub salmon for raw Tuna too). Go to your local fishmonger (not the supermarket) as it’s usually fresher. I get mine from the Auckland Fish market.

Ingredients
  

Salmon

  • 70-100 grams Salmon (sashimi grade)
  • Salmon roe (optional)
  • Spring onions (chopped)
  • ½ tablespoon Kewpie mayo
  • ½ tablespoon Sriracha chilli sauce

Crispy Rice

  • Neutral oil (e.g. sunflower, canola, grapeseed)
  • 1 tablespoon Sesame oil
  • ¾ cup Sushi rice
  • 1 tablespoon Mirin
  • 1 tablespoon Soy sauce
  • A sprinkle Salt flakes

Avocado puree

  • ½ Avocado
  • 1 teaspoon Lemon
  • A sprinkle Salt flakes

Garnish

  • Black sesame
  • Cucumber sliced thinly
  • Spring onions

Instructions
 

Season the rice

  • Cook the rice. When it's done cooking, season with sesame oil, mirin, a pinch of salt and soy sauce. Mix through evenly.
  • To shape the rice, line a square baking tin or container with glad wrap. Spread rice on it evenly.Then pop in the fridge while you prepare the salmon.

Season the salmon

  • Chop the salmon into small cubes. Mix it in sriracha, kewpie mayo, pinch of salt, sliced spring onions and set it aside.

Make the avocado mash

  • Add avocado, salt, and lemon juice to a bowl. Mix & mash together.

Fry the rice cake

  • Remove the rice and place it onto a chopping board, be careful not to break it. Cut the rice into little squares/rectangles. Use your hands to press and shape them to your preferred size/thickness. Just ensure the rice is tightly squished together so they don't come lose in the pan!
  • In a pan on high heat, add oil (about ½cm deep). Add rice cakes. Cook one side until golden brown and flip to cook the other side through.

Assemble

  • On the crispy rice cakes, add avocado mash, sliced cucumber, salmon, garnish with spring onion, sesame seeds, salmon roe and a drizzle of lemon juice.

Last night, I shared a 15 minute audio journal ent Last night, I shared a 15 minute audio journal entry <see grid> about why I quit my job at L’Oreal to move to the Northern Rivers for a new job at Conscious Ground, a certified organic farm dedicated to regenerating the land. 
I’m so excited to be joining this legend @baron_walton & to be making content about the eco-system being built that is Conscious Ground —  farm to table // regenerative farming to holistic cookery. 🍃 
Come on over and check out what we’re up to. Head over to @consciousground
Here are some BTS snippets from the last 3 weeks — so excited to share more with you in the new year. 
Happy holidays everyone! 🌈

A few snaps of schtuff we ate this week. I focused A few snaps of schtuff we ate this week. I focused on making vege loaded meals to nourish our bodies — treating Veges as the main dishes with Meat as a side, rather than the other way around. ✌🏽 
From left to right —
1. Thai beef salad (see video on my grid for recipe) / Stir fry Bok choy topped with hemp seeds / Grilled chicken satay (see video for recipe) 
2. Turmeric chicken noodle soup 
3. Wednesday night treat 🤤
4. Lettuce salad & hemp seeds / Veg packed Fried rice 
5. Sourdough (from the bakery.. I didn’t make it 😅)
Will drop my next video in the coming weeks, just taking a little break as I settle back into Aus 🙏🏼

Slow cooked beef with Vietnamese herbs / Pineapple Slow cooked beef with Vietnamese herbs / Pineapple salsa / Coriander jasmine rice / Paprika dusted pineapple / Lettuce salad 
End-of-week-fridge-clean-out used to be my least favourite part of home cooking because I’d often be left with excess produce I didn’t know how to use outside of a recipe, but as I gained more confidence in the kitchen (through doing, learning more dishes, stuffing up & repeating), I started looking forward to it more. In fact, I love it now — it’s like a nice end of week challenge! 
It’s probs because I’m forced to think outside the box, which makes me feel like an **artist** — you gotta work with what you’ve got (sometimes u just gotta shekk 💃🏻 what ur mama 🤰gave ya). 
Excluding our classic pantry staples, we had beef brisket, a whole pineapple, carrots, coriander, lettuce, tomatoes, lemons & lime, onions & ginger left over in the fridge. 
With the help of some spices, herbs, fish sauce & half a bottle of Merlot, I threw together this delicious slow cooked beef stew (ok fine I also chucked in a lil cocoa powder & ground coffee [my rationale was literally.. “oooo.. what if I just… yolo.. oops! *simmer for 6 hours * *taste*.. okay I vibe that..]). 
To cut through the rich beef flavours I made a pineapple salsa, lettuce salad, coriander rice & paprika dusted pineapple. 🍍🥬🍚
Twas scrumptious. Just ask Jason. 👀

Yesterday I made @brendan_pang’s Sheng Jian Bao Yesterday I made @brendan_pang’s Sheng Jian Bao 生煎 包(well, kinda). 
My first crack at this dish — I didn’t have cake flour so I subbed with a flour + cornstarch mix, which meant the dough was a little on the chewier side (vs. fluffy & white). Not the ideal 生煎包 texture but they kinda reminded me of Momos (Nepalese dumplings), which took me way back to 2018 when @berntoohey and I did the Everest base camp trek 🏔 Momo coma 🤌🏽
@brendan_pang I literally jumped up and down when I got this book in the mail for my bday (thank you @y__ilin) and have loved all the recipes I’ve tried so far! 🥟
