Ingredients
For the crispy triangles
- 2 cups sushi rice, rinsed until water runs clear
- 2 tablespoons rice wine vinegar
- 1 tablespoon granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon sesame oil
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/ 4 cup canola or vegetable oil, for frying
For the Fish
- 2 ounces sushi grade tuna
- 2 ounces sushi grade salmon
- 2 teaspoons spicy mayo, or more to taste
To Finish
- Sliced cucumber, shredded carrots, wasabi, pickled ginger (for garnish)

Instructions
For the crispy triangles
- Cook the rice according to package directions.
- Once the rice is done cooking fluff with a fork and stir in the rice wine vinegar, granulated sugar, sesame oil, and salt.
- Line a medium-sized baking pan (around 8×8) with plastic wrap.
- Pack the rice into the pan, I covered my hands with vinyl gloves and that helped keep the rice from sticking to my hands.
- Cover the rice more plastic wrap and refrigerate least 3 hours.
- Line a baking sheet with paper towels and place a wire cooling rack over the baking sheet. Set aside.
- Remove the rice from the refrigerator and, using a small triangle cookie cutter, cut triangles out of the rice. Dip the cutter into a cup of water in between each cut to help keep the cuts clean.
- Add the oil to a large skillet. Heat the oil over medium-high heat and fry the triangles, in batches, until browned on each side.
- Place the triangles on the prepared wire rack and allow to cool.
For the Fish
- Finely chop the tuna and mix with the spicy mayo. Set aside.
- Finely chop the salmon. Set aside.
To Finish
- Top each crispy triangle with a small amount of tuna or salmon.
- Garnish with sliced cucumber, shredded carrots, wasabi and pickled ginger.
- Serve with your favorite dipping sauces.
