Celebrate with a sushi cake that everyone loves!<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Sweet cakes are great, but why not try making this sushi cake with your family for a special occasion? While it\u2019s well known for the Doll Festival in Japan, it\u2019s also perfect for birthday parties, Christmas, or New Year\u2019s.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

All you need to do is cook the rice, then top it with ASC certified salmon and your favorite ingredients. Decorating it together with your children makes it a fun experience\u2014and even more delicious!<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

By choosing seafood with the ASC label, you\u2019re making a safe choice that helps protect future generations.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Instructions \/ Directions<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Season the rice:<\/span><\/strong> In a small bowl, mix the rice vinegar, sugar, and salt until dissolved. While the rice is still warm, transfer it to a large bowl. Gently mix in the vinegar mixture and sesame seeds using a cutting motion (a rice paddle works best). Fan the rice to cool it as you mix.<\/li>\n
  2. Make the thin omelette (kinshi tamago):<\/span><\/strong> Beat the eggs with sugar and a pinch of salt. Heat a non-stick pan with a little oil. Pour in just enough egg to make a thin layer. Cook gently, then transfer to a plate. Repeat until all the egg is used. Stack the cooked layers, then slice into thin strips.<\/li>\n
  3. Prep the fillings:<\/span><\/strong> Thinly slice the salmon and avocado. Have your sliced radish, cucumber, and herbs ready for topping.<\/li>\n
  4. Assemble the cake:<\/span><\/strong> Line a 15 cm (6 inch) round cake mold with plastic wrap. Add half of the seasoned rice and press down gently. Layer with avocado, salmon, omelette strips, and shiso or basil leaf. Top with the remaining rice and press lightly.<\/li>\n
  5. Finish and decorate:<\/span><\/strong> Turn the mold over onto a plate and peel off the plastic wrap. Top your sushi cake with more egg strips, slices of salmon, radish, cucumber, cress, and dill<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t
