# Sushi Waffles

Sushi waffles crisp cooked rice (day-old works best) in a waffle maker for about 10 minutes, then top it like sushi: whipped avocado-butter spread, finely chopped salt-cured salmon, a drizzle of mayo and sriracha, and sesame seeds. A crunchy rice "waffle" instead of a roll — no rolling mat, ready in 25 minutes. Serves 2.

## FAQ

### Will plain rice really hold together as a waffle?

Yes — the starch on cooked rice glues the grains as they crisp against the hot plates. Day-old rice works best because it's drier; press it firmly and give it the full 10 minutes before opening the waffle maker.

### Is the fish on top raw?

Use salt-cured or smoked salmon, not raw fillet — the topping isn't cooked. Cured salmon gives the sushi-counter flavor without the raw-fish handling; smoked salmon works just as well.

### What else can I do with the avocado-butter spread?

It's a compound butter — keep leftovers in the fridge and spread it on toast, melt it over grilled fish, or drop a spoonful on baked potatoes. The lime juice keeps it green for a couple of days.
