Instructions:
- Rinse the 1/2 cup of brown rice under cold water.
- Cook the rice according to the package instructions or until tender. This usually takes about 25-30 minutes. Drain any excess water.
- Once cooked, let it cool slightly and then stir in 2 tbsp of vinegar. Set aside to cool completely.
- Drain the canned salmon and flake it into a bowl using a fork. Ensure there are no large bone pieces.
- Dice the 1 cup of cucumber into small, bite-sized pieces.
- Dice the 1/2 cup of avocado.
- In a small bowl, combine 4 tsp of mayonnaise salad dressing and 1 tsp of chili sauce. Stir well until fully blended.
- Layer the cooled rice at the bottom of a serving dish or a small glass bowl. Press it down gently to form an even layer.
- Spread half of the flaked salmon over the rice layer.
- Sprinkle half of the diced cucumber over the salmon.
- Drizzle about half of the mayonnaise-chili dressing over the cucumber.
- Add the diced avocado on top as the next layer.
- Sprinkle 4 tsp of sesame seeds evenly over the top.
- Drizzle 4 tsp of soy sauce uniformly over the layers.
- Finely chop the 1 tsp of chives and sprinkle them over the stack for a fresh, colorful garnish.
- Serve immediately and enjoy your Spicy Salmon Stack!
Tips:
- For extra flavor, you can toast the sesame seeds before sprinkling them over the stack.
- To keep the avocado from browning, you can add a bit of lemon or lime juice to it before incorporating it into the stack.
- If you prefer a milder taste, adjust the amount of chili sauce to suit your heat tolerance.
- For a more authentic sushi taste, consider using sushi rice instead of brown rice.
- Presentation matters! Use a ring mold to neatly layer the ingredients for a professional finish.
