What Are Sushi Waffles?

Sushi waffles are made by pressing seasoned sushi rice into a waffle maker until crispy and golden. The waffle pattern creates little pockets that hold sauces and toppings beautifully. Once cooked, the crispy rice is topped with sushi-inspired ingredients like raw fish, avocado, cucumber, crab, spicy mayo, or even cooked shrimp.

The result is a fusion recipe that combines crispy rice bites with sushi rolls in a completely unique way.
