Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Rinse 1 cup of short grain sushi rice under cold water until clear, then cook according to rice cooker's instructions for about 20 minutes. Mix in rice vinegar, sugar, and salt, and cool completely.
  2. Line a baking pan with parchment paper, spread and press the cooled rice mixture into the pan to create a compact layer, and freeze for 3 hours.
  3. Dice sushi-grade salmon into small cubes. In a bowl, mix with Kewpie mayo, sriracha, soy sauce, and sesame oil. Fold in chopped green onions and refrigerate.
  4. Heat 1 cup of neutral oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Cut the rice into rectangles and fry until golden brown, about 1-2 minutes on each side.
  5. Assemble by placing fried rice blocks on a platter, topping with avocado slices, spicy salmon, jalapeño slices, and drizzling with sesame oil and sweet chili sauce.
