INSTRUCTIONS
Cut 12 oz salmon into about 24 slices to make 12 cupcakes. Make each slice about 0.5-0.7” thick.
Place 4 cups of cooked rice in a bowl. Add to it 3 tbsp rice vinegar, 1 tbsp sugar, and 1/2 tbsp sesame oil, and mix well. You can use a spoon or put on gloves and really get into it with your hands.
Take a muffin tray with 12 slots (or two small trays with 6 slots) and, into each slot, place 2 small nori sheets, one on top of the other, followed by a scoop of seasoned rice. (The rice mixture should be first divided into 12 parts.)
On each ‘cupcake’ place 2-3 slices of salmon. Divide the rest of the toppings (1 oz radish, 7 oz avocado, 2 oz carrot, and 1 tbsp sesame seeds) into 12 parts and place into each slot, like so:
In a small bowl mix 1 tbsp ginger with 3 1/2 tbsp soy sauce.
Cover both the tray and soy sauce and keep in the fridge until ready to serve.
