Method

1. Rinse and cook the sushi rice according to the package instructions. It can be slightly moist.
2. Mix the cooked sushi rice with the rice vinegar and sugar. Spread it evenly in an oven dish lined with cling film. Press the rice to form an even layer.
3. Let the rice cool down in the fridge for half a day to one day.
4. Cut the cucumber into thin slices.
5. Slice the mango into four pieces and slice into thin pieces.
6. Cut the No Salmon Sashimi into small pieces.
7. Once the sushi rice has cooled, carefully cut it into small, even pieces.
8. Heat a cooking pan with olive oil and fry the sushi rice pieces until they are golden brown and crunchy.
9. Assemble the bites: place a piece of crunchy sushi rice as the base, then add cucumber, mango and No Salmon Sashimi on top. Drizzle with a small amount of soy sauce, and garnish with black sesame seeds and finely chopped chives.
