Introduction

A sushi cake is a creative take on traditional sushi, constructed in the shape of a cake using layers of sushi rice, various fillings, and decorative toppings.

Sushi Rice Preparation

Cook sushi rice following package instructions. Once cooked, season with rice vinegar to taste, allowing it to cool before layering.

Layering

In a round cake pan or mold, start with a layer of sushi rice, pressing it down firmly. Add a layer of nori, followed by your desired fillings such as cucumber slices and smoked or sushi-grade salmon. Repeat the layering process until the mold is full.

Decorating

Once the layering is complete, carefully demould the sushi cake onto a serving platter. Garnish with sesame seeds, additional nori, or any other desired toppings.

Serving

Cut the sushi cake into slices using a sharp, wet knife for clean cuts. Serve immediately with soy sauce, wasabi, and pickled ginger on the side.
