Ingredients:
rice
soy sauce
130g package of smoked salmon
1 tbsp mayo
1 tbsp wasabi
1 tsp vinegar
chopped green onion
I looked around on the web to find the best way to make the crispy rice crust. The one that seemed the most plausible was to brush the rice with soy sauce and then pan fry it. First I lined a small circular tupperware with saran wrap. Then I scooped some cooked rice into it and squashed it down to make a nice thin patty (less than 1cm thick). The saran wrap made it easy for me to pop out of the mold. The best way to cook it is to brush one side with soy sauce, but not too much that it starts to fall apart. You can brush the other side with soy sauce while it's frying in the pan. I cooked it for about 5 minutes on both sides until it was a nice brown. It worked well, but I think the crust at the restaurant was crispier. Almost like tempura. I'm going to have to try it again in Toronto. This is the hardest part, really.
This is the nicest one, don't you think?I cut the sliced smoked salmon into smaller bite-size pieces and mixed the mayo, wasabi and vinegar together. I spread the salmon on the crust, drizzled the sauce and sprinkled the green onion on top. Voilà! You could also add sliced avocadoes, but I'm not a big fan.
Doesn't it look pretty good for a first try? I'm taking the prettier ones to the hospital tomorrow for lunch.

Mmmmmm. I want it.
I've been taking pictures of some of my more recent attempts, but I can't seem to find the right cable for my phone. It shall turn up.
For your phone? Not camera?
I just found three more pictures of dishes I haven't put up yet. They're straight off recipes online, so there isn't much to write. Maybe I'll put them up right now.
I mean... camera. Though I don't know where the thing for my phone is either. Since I am now pleasantly full, I can endorse the posting of more pictures.
(Incidentally, mozzarella, goat's milk feta, olives, spinach, plum tomatoes, cucumber, and, crucially, fresh cilantro makes for a great salad. Mix together some balsamic vinegar and olive oil and you're set insofar as dressings go.)
That looks scrumptious! Today I bought all the ingredients and I'll try making it. You're an inspiration!
Ooh~ I hope it works out, Lilian! I'm sure it will be yummy! Next time I think I'll just make one or two. Four takes forever to eat. ^_^
What a delicious yummy dish! Except for one thing: next time I won't use basmati rice; the pizzas simply crumbled. We ate it as a main meal with a fork. Mmmm...
