The Viral Salmon Rice Bowl That’s Too Easy Not To Try
Over the past few weeks, TikTok user Emily Mariko has sent the internet into a frenzy over her salmon rice recipe. However, unlike so many other viral recipes, Mariko’s is relatively quick and simple. Based on a Japanese meal that is typically made from leftovers, the recipe only requires rice, salmon, soy sauce, kewpie mayonnaise, and sriracha. Some people also top the meal with avocado, kimchi, and roasted seaweed, but those are optional.
The best part? The entire process only takes about 10 minutes from start to finish. It’s no wonder why so many people are trying and loving this new TikTok trend.
So, break out that cold, leftover rice that’s been sitting in the back of your fridge and get ready to join the 5.7 million TikTok users who are obsessed with this recipe.
