1

Prepare the Rice

First things first, cook the sushi rice according to the package instructions. Once cooked, transfer it to a large mixing bowl and let it cool slightly.

2

Prepare the Fillings

While the rice is cooling, prepare your desired sushi fillings. Chop up some fresh vegetables like cucumber, avocado, and carrot into thin strips. You can also use cooked shrimp, smoked salmon, or any other fillings of your choice. Get creative!

3

Layer the Ingredients

Now it's time to start building your sushi tower! Take a small round mold or a clean, empty can with both ends removed, and place it on a serving plate. Begin by adding a layer of sushi rice at the bottom of the mold, pressing it down gently with the back of a spoon.

Add the Fillings

Next, layer your desired fillings on top of the rice. Be generous and aim for a good mix of colors and flavors. Remember, variety is the spice of life (and sushi towers)!

5

Repeat Layers

Repeat the rice and filling layers until you reach the top of the mold. Press down gently after each layer to ensure a sturdy tower. You can mix it up by alternating different fillings to create a visually stunning effect.

Remove the Mold

Once you've reached the top layer, carefully lift the mold straight up to reveal your beautiful sushi tower. If the tower feels unstable, you can gently press down on the top layer to secure it.

Garnish and Serve

Time to add the finishing touches! Garnish your sushi tower with sesame seeds, sliced green onions, or a drizzle of spicy mayo. Get creative and make it as visually appealing as possible. Now, all that's left to do is call your guests to the table and watch their jaws drop as you serve up this culinary masterpiece!
