Crispy Waffled Sushi

This Waffle Iron Sushi Contains Rice With Optimal Crispiness Levels

— June 11, 2015 — Lifestyle
If you are obsessed with sushi, but are always looking to change it up at the same time, you should try making your own waffle iron sushi. Posted by dad_beets on Instagram and featured on food blog The Vulgar Chef, the unusual sushi recipe makes creative use of a standard waffle maker.

In his original Instagram post on the waffle iron sushi, dad_beets offers several tips for culinary adventurers. For example, use really cold sushi (any kind), and use the highest setting the iron allows. Brushing both sides of the sushi with oil should be done to achieve maximum rice crispiness (he used coconut oil). Also, avoid pressing down. Just let the weight of the lid do the work on your behalf.
