TikTok star Emily Mariko garnered a large following in recent weeks with her healthy cooking and lifestyle videos, with her take on a salmon rice bowl being her most popular recipe. Inspired by East Asian cuisine, this dish can be made in most dorm kitchens and it is an easy, filling meal for the average student on a busy weeknight! The only advanced preparation needed is cooking the salmon, since instant rice can be used in the dish.

Ingredients:

3-4 ounces of chilled, cooked salmon, lightly seasoned

1 cup of cooked rice, refrigerated

1 ice cube

1 tablespoon soy sauce

2 tablespoons sriracha

1 tablespoon mayonnaise

1 packet dried seaweed

½ cup kimchi (recommended amount)

Instructions:

1.     In a bowl, shred the salmon and put the rice on top.

2.     Place the ice cube on top of the rice. This helps steam the rice in the microwave.

3.     Cover the bowl with parchment paper and microwave it for 45 seconds.

4.     Remove the bowl from the microwave and discard the parchment paper. Discard any of the leftover ice cube as well.

5.     Drizzle the soy sauce, sriracha and mayonnaise into the bowl and mix thoroughly.

6.     Place the kimchi and a few strips of dried seaweed on the edge of the bowl.

Pour yourself a beverage of choice and enjoy!
