Description

Teriyaki Prawns and Avocado on a Crispy Rice Waffle is a flavorful fusion dish that harmoniously blends tender prawns glazed in sweet and savory teriyaki sauce with creamy avocado, all layered on a perfectly crispy rice waffle. This recipe makes for a delightful light lunch or elegant brunch, featuring a satisfying mix of textures and a balance of sweet, salty, and creamy flavors.

Ingredients

For the Rice Waffle

  • 2 cups cooked sushi rice, cooled
  • 1 teaspoon sesame oil
  • 1 teaspoon soy sauce
  • Cooking spray or a little vegetable oil

For the Teriyaki Prawns

  • 250 g (9 oz) large prawns, peeled and deveined
  • 2 tablespoons teriyaki sauce
  • 1 teaspoon sesame oil
  • 1 teaspoon minced garlic
  • 1 teaspoon grated fresh ginger
  • 1 teaspoon sesame seeds

For the Topping

  • 1 ripe avocado, sliced
  • 2 tablespoons sliced spring onions
  • Fresh coriander or microgreens (optional)
  • Lime wedges, for serving

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Rice Mixture: In a bowl, thoroughly combine the cooked sushi rice with sesame oil and soy sauce to evenly season the rice.
  2. Cook the Rice Waffle: Preheat your waffle maker and lightly grease it with cooking spray or vegetable oil. Press the seasoned rice firmly and evenly into the waffle maker, then cook for 10 to 12 minutes until the rice becomes golden brown and develops a crispy texture.
  3. Cook Aromatics: While the rice waffle cooks, heat sesame oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Add minced garlic and grated fresh ginger, sautéing for about 30 seconds until fragrant but not browned.
  4. Cook the Prawns: Add the peeled and deveined prawns to the skillet. Cook each side for 2 to 3 minutes, turning once, until the prawns turn pink and are fully cooked through.
  5. Glaze the Prawns: Stir in the teriyaki sauce and cook for an additional minute, allowing the prawns to become evenly coated with the glossy sauce. Sprinkle with sesame seeds for added flavor and texture.
  6. Assemble the Dish: Transfer the crispy rice waffle to a serving plate. Arrange the sliced avocado evenly on top of the waffle. Then layer the teriyaki prawns over the avocado slices.
  7. Garnish and Serve: Sprinkle the dish with sliced spring onions and fresh coriander or microgreens if using. Serve immediately with lime wedges on the side to add a fresh citrus zing.

Notes

  • Sushi rice is ideal for this recipe because its sticky texture helps the rice waffle hold together well.
  • For a spicy kick, drizzle sriracha or spicy mayo over the prawns before serving.
  • Add cucumber slices or pickled ginger as extra toppings to enhance freshness and balance flavors.
  • Enjoy the dish immediately to savor the rice waffle’s crispy texture; it softens if left too long.
  • Store any leftover prawns properly refrigerated and consume within 2 days for optimal freshness and safety.
