SERVES 1
Ingredients
- 200 g Saitaku Sushi Rice
- 2 sheets Saitaku Nori Sheets
- 100 g Saitaku Panko Breadcrumbs
- 1 tbsp Saitaku Sesame Seeds
- Saitaku Soy Sauce, to serve
- 100 g flour
- 100 g cornflour
- Water, as needed
- Sunflower oil, for frying
- 100 g cream cheese
- 100 g smoked salmon, thinly sliced
- ½ avocado, sliced
Instructions
- Cook the Saitaku Sushi Rice according to the packet instructions. Once cooked, allow the rice to cool slightly so that it is easier to handle.
- Prepare the batter by mixing the flour and cornflour in a bowl. Gradually add water and stir until you have a smooth batter with a slightly thicker consistency.
- Place the Saitaku Panko Breadcrumbs in a separate bowl.
- Spread a layer of Sushi Rice over the sheet and press the rice down firmly. Cut the Saitaku Nori Sheets into square shapes the size of a sandwich.
- Turn the sheet over and spread the cream cheese on top, followed by the smoked salmon and avocado slices. Sprinkle with the Saitaku Sesame Seeds.
- Turn over a second sheet and spread the cream cheese on top. Place this sheet over the filling and gently press the sandwich together.
- Dip the sandwich into the flour and cornflour batter, ensuring it is completely coated. Then coat it in the Saitaku Panko Breadcrumbs, gently pressing the breadcrumbs on to make sure they stick.
- Place the sandwich in the air fryer and cook for 15 minutes at 180°C, until golden brown and crispy on all sides.
- Allow the sandwich to cool for a few minutes before cutting it in half.
- Serve with Saitaku Soy Sauce for dipping.
