  • Method: Microwaving is used for reheating but the primary cooking method implied in the recipe is Stovetop, since the original cooking of salmon and rice would be stovetop or equivalent; however, since the actual recipe only directs reheating and mixing, and no stovetop cooking occurs, the PRIMARY cooking method for this recipe is No-Cook as preparation involves reheating and mixing without actual cooking from raw ingredients.

Description

This Easy Leftover Salmon Rice Bowl is a quick and delicious way to transform your leftover cooked salmon and rice into a flavorful meal. Enhanced with tsuyu, Kewpie mayo, sriracha, and fresh avocado, this recipe is inspired by popular home-cooking trends and offers a comforting blend of creamy, spicy, and savory flavors.


Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 1½ cup cooked rice (leftover or freshly cooked)
  • 3 oz cooked salmon (leftover or freshly cooked)
  • 3/4 teaspoon tsuyu (or soy sauce as a substitute)
  • 1 teaspoon Kewpie mayonnaise (add to taste)
  • 1 teaspoon sriracha sauce (add to taste)
  • 1/2 avocado, sliced
  • 1 teaspoon green onions, finely sliced
  • 1-2 ice cubes (for reheating leftover rice and salmon)


Instructions

  1. Prepare Leftovers: If using leftover rice and salmon, place them together in a microwave-safe bowl and add 1-2 ice cubes to keep the moisture and texture intact during reheating. Cover the bowl with parchment paper and microwave for 1 to 1½ minutes until warmed through. Skip this step if using freshly cooked rice and salmon.
  2. Remove Ice and Add Flavors: After microwaving, discard any remaining ice cubes. Add 3/4 teaspoon tsuyu, a drizzle of Kewpie mayonnaise, and sriracha sauce to taste over the warm rice and salmon mixture.
  3. Mash and Mix: Use a fork to mash the ingredients gently together until well combined, allowing the flavors to meld with the texture of the rice and salmon.
  4. Garnish and Serve: Top the bowl with sliced avocado and finely sliced green onions for freshness and creaminess. Optionally serve with nori sheets on the side to add a crispy, savory element.

Notes

  • This recipe was inspired by Emily Mariko's viral salmon rice bowl on social media.
  • You can substitute tsuyu with soy sauce if unavailable.
  • Adjust the amount of Kewpie mayo and sriracha according to your heat and creaminess preference.
  • Adding ice cubes during reheating helps maintain moisture and prevents the rice from drying out.
  • Freshly cooked salmon and rice can be used to skip the reheating step for quicker preparation.
  • Optional nori seaweed sheets can be used for added texture and flavor.
