Have you tried the viral TikTok Salmon r(ice) bowl?

The mega trending salmon r(ice) bowl

TikTok creator Emily Mariko took the world by storm when she was making lunch using some leftover rice and salmon. It might not seem like anything special but she added an ice cube and some baking paper before reheating in the microwave and this set off the video to become a viral sensation. The dish is then completed with spicy sauce, mayo which is mixed together then eaten with fresh avocado, kimchi and seaweed. Of course there was more to the video than just microwaving an ice cube to refreshen the rice, many also fell for Mariko's charm and pleasant aesthetics.

The viral video has since been recreated many times over, many crediting the ice cube for revolutionising stale leftovers. Take a look at the recipe down below if you want to give it a go.
