1

Gather Your Ingredients

Get your shopping list ready! You'll need sushi rice, sashimi-grade fish or seafood, nori (seaweed sheets), vegetables (like cucumber, avocado, and carrots), sushi vinegar, soy sauce, wasabi, and pickled ginger. Don't forget decorative toppings like sesame seeds or edible flowers!

2

Prepare the Sushi Rice

Cook the sushi rice according to the package instructions. Once cooked, let it cool slightly and add sushi vinegar to give it that tangy flavor. Mix gently to avoid smashing the grains.

3

Slice and Dice

Now it's time for some chopping action! Slice the fish and seafood into thin strips or bite-sized pieces. Cut the vegetables into matchstick or thin slices. Keep everything organized and ready for assembling.

4

Layer and Stack

It's cake-building time! Start by placing a layer of sushi rice in a cake ring or a lined springform pan. Press it down gently to form a solid base. Add a layer of nori on top, then layer your chosen ingredients – fish, veggies, more rice – in creative combinations. Repeat the layering until you reach your desired height.

5

Press and Set

Once you've finished layering, use the back of a spoon or a small plate to press the sushi cake down firmly. This will help to compact the layers and hold the shape. Let it set for a few minutes to ensure it stays intact when you remove the cake ring or springform pan.

6

Decorate and Serve

Time to make your sushi cake shine! Decorate the top of the cake with colorful and enticing toppings like sesame seeds, edible flowers, or thin slices of fish. Gently remove the cake ring or springform pan, and voila! Your sushi cake is ready to be sliced and served. Provide soy sauce, wasabi, and pickled ginger as accompaniments.
