Salmon Rice Bowl with Cucumber Kimchi. If you’ve seen the viral salmon rice bowl on TikTok, this is my Korean version.

It’s crazy how things can go viral these days. And once they go viral, you have millions of people making your recipe. It’s crazy. Emily Mariko (who now has over 9.8 million followers on TikTok) created the salmon rice bowl. She reheats rice and leftover salmon, places an ice cube on top, heats it up and adds sriracha and kewpie mayo and eats it with some gim (nori in Japanese) and kimchi.

Seasoning  the leftover salmon with sriracha and kewpie mayo is genius in my opinion. It adds heat and creaminess and flavor. and the ice cube is just brilliant. 

My kids love this dish and now, we make these salmon rice bowls all the time. I seriously wouldn’t be surprised if there was a surge of kewpie mayo selling after this salmon rice bowl went viral. 

Salmon Rice Bowl with Cucumber Kimchi

I recently made some quick cucumber kimchi and ate it with rice salmon and gim. Instead of the sriracha, I used gochujang and the kewpie mayo. Delicious! I hope you try my version of this dish.
