Sushi cake salad

Step-by-step preparation

Cooking time: 40 mins

1. STEP 1

   

   How to make salad Sushi cake? Prepare all the necessary ingredients. Take short grain rice. Crab meat can be replaced with crab sticks. Any lightly salted fish is suitable: pink salmon, salmon or trout. You can also add shrimp and avocado to the filling of this cake. If desired, curd cheese can be mixed with wasabi and soy sauce.

2. STEP 2

   

   Rinse the rice well several times until the water is clean. When cooking sushi rice, the ratio of rice to water should be 1:1.15. You can cook rice either in a regular saucepan or in a slow cooker. I use a slow cooker. To cook in a saucepan, you must first bring the rice to a boil over high heat, then reduce the heat to low and cook without stirring for about 15 minutes. There is no need to cover the pan with a lid. Let the finished rice sit for about 15 minutes.

3. STEP 3

   

   While the rice is steeping, prepare the dressing for it. To do this, heat the rice vinegar a little, add salt and sugar and stir until they dissolve.

4. STEP 4

   

   Pour the sauce over the boiled rice and stir gently with a wooden spatula.

5. STEP 5

   

   Cut two sheets of nori seaweed into small squares with scissors.

6. STEP 6

   

   You can start assembling the salad cake. To do this, it is convenient to use a serving ring with a diameter of 15 cm. Place the pieces of nori tightly in the first layer so that there are no gaps between them.

7. STEP 7

   

   Place half of the rice in the next layer.

8. STEP 8

   

   Place the cream cheese in a pastry bag or regular bag, cutting off a corner. Spiral the cheese on top of the rice.

9. STEP 9

   

   Peel the cucumbers and cut into thin slices. Place a layer of cucumbers on top of the cream cheese.

10. STEP 10

    

    Lightly fry the sesame seeds in a dry frying pan and sprinkle them over the cucumber layer.

11. STEP 11

    

    Cut the crab meat (crab sticks) into small pieces and place the next layer of chopped crab sticks (crab meat). If you don't like crab meat, you can layer this layer with red fish. Then you will have two layers of fish.

12. STEP 12

    

    Place chopped nori seaweed on top of the crab meat.

13. STEP 13

    

    Place the rest of the rice in the next layer.

14. STEP 14

    

    Pipe the remaining cream cheese from the piping bag.

15. STEP 15

    

    Use a knife to smooth out the cream cheese slightly.

16. STEP 16

    

    Place chopped red fish in the last layer and sprinkle sesame seeds on top. Sushi cake at home is ready. Bon appetit!

What a beauty! I try more sushi this way - in the classic version. But I'll definitely try the cake. Effective is not the right word!

I have had the recipe for Sushi Cake Salad in my bookmarks for a long time; I was going to make it for every holiday, but I still couldn’t buy the ingredients. Finally, the stars aligned and I did it) I have the most pleasant impressions of the salad! I did everything according to the recipe. The layers were assembled in a ring from a baking dish with a diameter of 18 cm. It seems to me that the optimal height was obtained) I really liked that there was no mayonnaise in the salad. I was worried that it would turn out a little dry, but on the contrary, the salad turned out juicy. Here the cucumbers provide moisture and the rice vinegar saturates the rice in sufficient quantities. And cream cheese also holds foods together well and makes the taste tender and pleasant. Next time I would take more nori, two sheets per layer, I really like this seaweed) My fish layer was made from trout, it was cut into thin slices, just what I needed. I lightly fried the sesame seeds, this makes them more aromatic and tastier. We cut the cake with a knife, here, just like when cutting rolls, you need to clean and wet the knife every time so that the pieces are neat. But you can just take it with a spoon) The salad is simply magnificent in both appearance and taste. The guests were delighted! The children also ate with pleasure, because it’s a “huge roll!” Truly the real taste of my favorite rolls! My dream has come true, I will now cook this sushi cake often) Thanks for the recipe!

I like it. This is not the first time I’ve done this, but I decided to leave a review. Rolls are rolls, and the cake is cake 🤣 It looks beautiful on the table, whoever wants it, can try it. Like a snack in general 🔥. You can add and optimize at your own pleasure. I would add avocado😘 but the recipe is just bomb👍

Of course, the taste and color here are all individual, but... I would never cook this. Rolls and sushi don’t take long to prepare. The whole process takes me an hour and a half with boiling the rice in a rice cooker. And a whole mountain of sushi from a kilo of rice is ready. And how do you dip it into the sauce in your version? And watering from above... Well, that's not very good. Although, if it's easier for you...

I cooked the rice according to the instructions from the pack (I took a special one for Japanese cuisine). It took about 250g of cheese, about 180g of crab sticks, and about 300g of fish. And there is one more sheet of nori. To put it simply, I increased all the ingredients except rice. It turned out great, my husband and I finished this cake in the evening, very tasty and tender.
