Instead of letting those sushi rolls sit in the fridge, she tosses them into a pan, breaks them apart with a spatula, and cooks them up like fried rice.

A splash of soy sauce and a sprinkle of spring onions later, and voilà—a “new dish” is born!

On one hand, it’s a way to avoid food waste and breathe new life into your leftover sushi.

On the other, some enthusiasts are wincing at the thought of sushi, a delicacy known for its fresh flavors and textures, sizzling away in a frying pan. 

One top comment by user HotGirlsThrift encapsulated the skepticism with a tongue-in-cheek quip: “Somebody call the cops right now”

But not everyone’s against the idea. User KP said, “Everyone’s hating, but I do this too and it’s fire.” And they’re not alone. 

Some viewers are rallying behind the hack. After all, why not transform takeout into something fresh and exciting?

Of course, the hack has raised a few eyebrows among foodies, with some wondering if it’s a culinary crime. But love it or hate it, one thing’s for sure—this dish is a talking point.

So, where do you stand? Would you try this hack or stick to sushi the traditional way? 

Share this with your foodie friends and let the debate begin!
