Have you ever made crispy sushi rice cakes? They’re incredibly easy and oh-so-grand. I like topping mine with thinly sliced roast beef, horseradish cream sauce and dill pickles. So good.
.
BLOG —> https://sliceofjess.com/roast-beef-sandwich-sushi-on-crispy-rice-cakes/
.
FOR THE CRISPY RICE CAKES:
• 1-3/4 cups Water
• ¼ Rice Vinegar
• 2 cup Short Grain Rice
• 1 tsp. Kosher Salt
• 2 tsp. Granulated Sugar
• Avocado Oil, as needed for frying
.
FOR THE HORSERADISH CREAM SAUCE:
• ½ cup 4% Greek Yogurt (or Sour Cream)
• ¼ cup Mayonnaise
• 1 tbsp. Stone Ground Dijon Mustard
• 2 tbsp. Horseradish
• 1 tbsp. Chopped Chives
• 1 tbsp. Chopped Italian Parsley
• Kosher Salt, to taste
.
FOR THE PICKLE SUSHI:
• ½ lb. Thinly Sliced Roast Beef
• Mt. Olive Dill Pickle Chips, as needed
• Chopped Italian Parsley, as needed
.
DIRECTIONS:
1. Rinse the rice in cold water in a large fine mesh strainer for 1 - 2 minutes. Or until the water runs clear. Drain well.
2. Bring water and rice vinegar to a boil in a large stockpot. Carefully add the rinsed rice, sugar and salt and cook according to the packaged directions. About 20 minutes, or until the liquid is absorbed.
3. While the rice is cooking, whisk together all ingredients for the horseradish cream sauce. Set the mixed sauce in the fridge until you’re ready to serve.
4. Allow the rice to cool so it’s easy to handle. Place plastic wrap along the bottom of a square casserole dish. Pour rice into the dish and cover with another piece of plastic wrap. Press until evenly flat, the rice should be in a square shape. Freeze for 45 minutes.
5. Carefully lift the semi-frozen rice out of the casserole dish and cut into 8 squares. Heat avocado oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Shallow pan-fry the rice squares on each side until browned and crispy. Drain on a plate lined with a couple paper towels. Depending on the size of your pan, you may have to work in batches.
6. While the rice cakes are still warm, top with a heavy drizzle of horseradish cream, thinly sliced roast beef, pickle chips and Italian parsley. Enjoy immediately.

FOR THE CRAB CAKES:
• ½ lb. Jumbo Lump Crab Meat
• ½ lb. Lump or Claw Crab Meat
• 1 cup Crushed Unsalted Saltine Crackers (about 21 crackers)
• 1 Large Egg
• ½ cup Mayonnaise
• 2-3 Dashes Tabasco Sauce
• 1 tsp. Old Bay Seasoning
• 1 tbsp. Worcestershire sauce
• ⅛ tsp. Kosher Salt
• 1 tbsp. Minced Fresh Italian Parsley
• 2 tsp. Fresh Lemon Juice
• 1 tbsp. Lemon Zest (optional)
• ¼ cup Vegetable Oil, for cooking
.
SUGGESTED SANDWICH INGREDIENTS:
• Toasted Bread (sandwich bread, French rolls, hamburger buns)
• Pepperoncini Tarter Sauce (recipe on blog)
• Lettuce
• Tomato Slices
• Red Onion Slices
• Fresh Dill, as needed for garnish
• Lemon Wedges, for serving
.
DIRECTIONS:
1. Combine crab meat and crushed crackers in a large mixing bowl.
2. In a medium sized mixing bowl, whisk together the egg, mayonnaise, tobacco sauce, old bay, Worcestershire, salt, Italian parsley, lemon juice and optional lemon zest.
3. Fold the mayonnaise mixture into the crab meat and set the mix in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors blend.
4. Once you'r ready to cook, divide the crab cake mixture into 8 patties. Be careful not to overwork the mixture (this will ensure you still have large clumps of crab meat).
5. In a large skillet over medium-high heat, add oil and heat. Test the oil with a tiny piece of crab cake mix. If it sizzles... the oil is ready.
6. Once the oil is hot enough to sear the crab cakes, cook them for about 3 - 4 minutes per side. You know they are done when they are golden brown and hot in the center. Depending on the size of your skillet, you may have to work in batches.
7. When finished, transfer crab cakes to a plate lined with paper towels to drain.
8. Assemble sandwiches immediately with suggested ingredients.
9. Store any leftover crab cakes in the refrigerator for up to 2 days.
