Soccer Rice Ball


My husband loves soccer and so excited about up coming FIFA world cup!

I like salmon rice balls, but wild salmon is so expensive...
I found wild caught salmon can at Whole Foods Market and it's not that expensive.


I made salmon flakes with it and it turned out really good.
You can mix it with mayo and use it for sushi roll too. Yum!

Salmon Flakes

1/2can(about 200g)   Wild caought salmon, drained
2~3tsp Sugar
1.5tbs Soy sauce
1/2tbs Sake

Cook all the ingredients in a pan until salmon gets dry.
