The TikTok Recipes We're Obsessing Over

We can’t talk about viral TikTok recipes without showing some love for Emily Mariko’s famous salmon and rice bowl. It’s the next best thing to sushi when takeout isn't an option, and the best part is that it takes just minutes to bring to life.

Ingredients:

• Cooked salmon filet: Mariko uses leftover salmon, but fresh salmon works, too!

• White rice: Again, leftover or fresh — it’s your call!

• Avocado

• Kimchi

• Soy sauce

• Sriracha

• Kewpie mayonnaise: FYI, you can get it at Target!

• Dried seaweed: Or nori, your call. 

Directions: Start by mashing up the salmon with a fork and then cover with rice. (Note to those using leftover rice and salmon: Next, place an ice cube in the center of the rice and cover it with parchment paper before steaming it up in the microwave). Finish by topping with soy sauce, mayo, sriracha, and avocado slices. Mix it up and enjoy with roasted seaweed and kimchi.

Though newer to the scene, grated egg avocado toast has quickly garnered a ton of attention on TikTok. Not only is it delicious (it’s avocado toast, after all), but it’s also super Instagrammable.

Ingredients:

• Bread: We recommend using sourdough.

• Kewpie Mayo: Clearly, you need to add this to your shopping cart, stat.

• Avocado 

• Hard-boiled Egg: One per slice.

• Sriracha 

• Salt and Pepper 

Directions: Start by toasting your bread. Then, thinly slice an avocado. Spread a thin layer of kewpie mayo over your freshly-toasted bread before layering the avocado on top. Using a microplane, grate the hard-boiled egg over the avocado. Finally, season with salt, pepper, and a few dollops of sriracha.

Finish by topping it off with cooked pasta and finish by giving it another good mix.
