Sushi Cake serves 4-6 people
2 eggs
1 teaspoon sugar
1 pinch salt
oil
– Beat the eggs in a bowl with sugar and salt. Grease a nonstick pan. Add the eggs and swirl it into a very thin layer. Flip the egg and cook for 10 more second. Remove to cool.Layer sections of the egg and slice into thin strips.
2 Persian cucumbers
– To make hearts, slice cucumber on a very sharp angle. Overlap the two slices to create a heart shape. I made about 6 hearts. Stack the rest of the slices and thinly slice the stack into matchsticks.
2 cups artificial crabmeat
2 tablespoons mayonnaise (kewpie if you can get it)
1 teaspoon sriracha hot sauce
– Mix ingredients in a bowl and set aside.
10 small sheets of green laver (toasted seaweed crisps)
– Stack and cut into strips using a pair of scissors.
8-10 thin and small slices of smoked salmon
– Roll two pieces of smoked salmon and shape into a heart. I made about 4 heart shapes.
Assembling the cake:
– Grease a heart shaped mold and place it on the serving plate that you are using.
– Spread sushi rice out and section it into 3 equal portions making sure it’s completely cooled before using.
– Mix seaweed into one section of the rice. The other two sections will be plain.
– for the first layer add white rice and press down firmly.
– Next, add the crabmeat salad and press down gently.
– Next, add the seaweed rice and press down firmly.
– Next, sprinkle on shredded cucumber and egg reserving some for garnish if you’d like.
-Last, add last layer of white rice and press down firmly.
– Sprinkle with sesame seeds and sliced spring onion.
– Gently remove the mold and clean up and reshape cake if need be.
– Garnish cake with smoked salmon hearts, cucumber heart, egg, and crabmeat salad anyway you like! Get creative! Also, fish roe and shrimp would be a delicious addition.
– Serve with in one day of making this special Valentine’s Day treat!
