Ingredients

  • 2 cups cooked short-grain sushi rice
  • 2 tablespoons white miso paste
  • 1 tablespoon honey
  • 1 teaspoon toasted sesame oil
  • 1/2 cup panko breadcrumbs
  • 2 tablespoons chili crisp oil
  • 1 scallion thinly sliced
  • 1 tablespoon toasted sesame seeds

Instructions

1
First, press the cooked sushi rice into a lined square tin and refrigerate for 30 minutes to firm up.
2
Once chilled, cut the rice block into uniform rectangles.
3
Whisk together the white miso, honey, and sesame oil in a small bowl to create a glossy umami glaze.
4
Gently press each rice cake into panko breadcrumbs to coat all sides lightly.
5
Heat a cast-iron skillet over medium-high heat with a splash of neutral oil, then sear the rice cakes for 3-4 minutes per side until a golden, glass-like crust forms.
6
Brush the miso-honey mixture over the top during the final minute of cooking, allowing it to caramelize without burning.
7
Serve immediately topped with a generous spoonful of chili crisp, sliced scallions, and a sprinkle of toasted sesame seeds for an addictive textural crunch.
