1

Preparing the Sushi Rice Base

Start by cooking sushi rice according to the package instructions. Once cooked, transfer the rice to a large bowl and let it cool slightly. While the rice is still warm, season it with a mixture of rice vinegar, sugar, and salt. Gently mix it all together using a rice paddle or a wooden spoon. Be careful not to mash the rice!

2

Arranging the Ingredients

Gather your favorite sushi fillings such as fresh fish slices, avocado, cucumber, and crab sticks. Prepare these fillings by cutting them into thin, even slices. Now, it's time to let your creativity shine! Arrange the slices on top of the sushi rice base in a decorative pattern. You can create beautiful designs or stick to traditional sushi-style arrangements.

Decorating with Nori Strips

To add some flair to your Sushi Cake, cut nori sheets into thin strips. Use these strips to create borders and patterns on the sides of the cake. You can also cut nori into shapes like flowers or stars to make it extra fancy!

Finishing Touches

Now, it's time for the finishing touches! Sprinkle some toasted sesame seeds or fish roe on top of the sushi cake to add texture and flavor. You can also drizzle some soy sauce or spicy mayo in a decorative pattern. Get creative and have fun with it!
