Ingredients for Crispy Rice Sushi Bites:

• 2 cups sushi rice
• 2 1/2 cups water
• 1/2 cup rice vinegar
• 1/4 cup sugar
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
• Sushi nori (seaweed sheets)
• Sushi fillings of your choice (e.g., avocado, cucumber, imitation crab, spicy mayo)

How to make Crispy Rice Sushi Bites:

1. Rinse the sushi rice under cold water until the water runs clear. Drain the rice and place it in a rice cooker with 2 1/2 cups of water. Cook the rice according to the rice cooker’s instructions.
2. While the rice is cooking, combine the rice vinegar, sugar, and salt in a small saucepan. Heat over medium heat until the sugar and salt are dissolved. Remove from heat and let it cool.
3. When the rice is cooked, transfer it to a large bowl and let it cool slightly. Gently fold in the vinegar mixture until well combined. Be careful not to mash the rice.
4. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Spread the rice evenly onto the baking sheet, about 1 inch thick. Let it cool completely.
5. Once the rice has cooled, use a cookie cutter or a small cup to cut out rounds of rice.
6. Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Carefully place the rice rounds in the skillet and cook until crispy and golden brown on both sides, about 2-3 minutes per side. Remove from the skillet and let them drain on a paper towel.
7. Cut the sushi nori into small strips. Place a strip of nori around the edge of each rice round, pressing gently to adhere.
8. Fill each crispy rice round with your choice of sushi fillings. You can use avocado, cucumber, imitation crab, spicy mayo, or any other sushi fillings you like.
9. Serve the Crispy Rice Sushi Bites immediately and enjoy!
