Mayonnaise is gluten-free, but check the packaging. As for soy and sriracha sauces , and fried onions, buy the "gluten-free" ones, they exist and it's written on them or on the back!
🐹 Are there any vegan alternatives?
To make this recipe vegan, you can remove or replace the salmon with imitation salmon (yes, there is such a thing!).
You can also replace egg mayonnaise with vegan mayonnaise.
🥒 What ingredients do you need?
Here are the ingredients you'll need to prepare this recipe. Quantities can be found in the recipe card at the end of this article.
- Nori seaweed: this seaweed is widely used in Japanese cuisine. It is also the 2nd algae with the highest protein content and a high fibre content.
- Sushi rice: it's softer and stickier than the rice we traditionally use in our cooking, so it's perfect for this recipe! It is usually found in the world cuisine section of supermarkets.
- Salmon: I recommend using raw salmon, which is easier to combine with the sauce.
- Avocado
- A cucumber
- Edamame: these soybeans are widely used in Asian cuisine. I buy mine frozen from Picard*.
- Fried onions: to give this recipe a crunchy texture
- Sesame: I used golden sesame, but you can use any kind you like.
- Sriracha sauce : a red Thai sauce made from chillies, sugar, salt and distilled vinegar. It is often found in Asian cuisine. It can be bought in many supermarkets, exotic grocery stores or on the Internet.
- Mayonnaise: to sweeten the sriracha sauce
- Soy sauce: salted, of course. As a reminder, sweet soy sauce doesn't exist in Asia, it's a Western invention.
- Chives
