The salmon rice bowl that TikTok is raving about

The hero of the dish? An ice cube. - by Chanelle Mansour
  • 06 Oct 2021

Currently making the rounds on TikTok is a simple yet delicious recipe for a salmon rice bowl, made using leftovers and ice.

The Japanese-inspired dish has just about everyone hooked, with the video, uploaded on TikTok by food and lifestyle blogger Emily Mariko, having garnered over four million likes.

Her use of a single ice cube to make the dish seems to be the reason why this recipe stands out to viewers, as she uses it to steam leftover rice so it doesn't dry out in the microwave.

That's another key factor as to why the video (which you can watch in the player above) is so popular, as Emily makes the meal by using leftovers she already has in her kitchen.

Placing an ice cube before microwaving the rice helps it steam without drying it out.

To make your own salmon rice bowl, you'll need salmon, white rice, an ice cube, soy sauce, Kewpie mayonnaise, and hot sauce.

You also have the option to add kimchi, avocado and seaweed to garnish the end result.

In the video, Emily starts by mashing cooked salmon leftovers with a fork before adding a scoop of white rice on top.

She then takes one ice cube and places it in the middle of the rice, and puts a piece of parchment paper over the top before placing it in the microwave.

After microwaving the food, she removes the paper and ice cube, and then adds soy sauce, sriracha, and Kewpie mayonnaise on top and mixes it around.

She follows up by adding avocado, kimchi, and dried seaweed to the bowl to complete the dish.

And there you have it, a perfectly good salmon and rice bowl made with leftovers - but still tastes fresh as ever.
