Sushi cake salad

Step-by-step cooking

1. Step 1:

   

   Prepare all the products necessary for making Sushi cake.

2. Step 2:

   

   Take the round-grain rice and rinse it well under running water. When cooking rice for sushi, the ratio of rice to water should be 1:1.15. You can cook rice both in a regular saucepan and in a slow cooker. I use a slow cooker. To cook in a saucepan, first bring the rice to a boil over high heat, then reduce the heat to a minimum and cook the rice for 15 minutes. We do not open the lid of the pan and do not interfere with the rice. After the rice is cooked, we wait another 15 minutes.

3. Step 3:

   

   Now let's do the rice dressing. Heat 50 ml of rice vinegar a little and dissolve in it 1 teaspoon of salt and 2 tablespoons without a hill of sugar.

4. Step 4:

   

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

5. Step 5:

   

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

6. Step 6:

   

   Let's assemble the salad cake. To do this, use a serving ring with a diameter of 15 cm. We lay out the pieces of nori tightly with the first layer, trying to avoid gaps between them.

7. Step 7:

   

   Next layer spread half of the rice.

8. Step 8:

   

   Put the cream cheese in a pastry bag or a regular bag, cut off the corner and squeeze out a spiral.

10. Step 9:

    

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

11. Step 10:

    

    Lightly fry sesame seeds in a dry frying pan and sprinkle them with a layer of cucumbers.

12. Step 11:

    

    The next layer is sliced crab sticks (crab meat). If you do not like crab meat, then this layer can be replaced with red fish, i.e. the layer of fish will be repeated twice.

13. Step 12:

    

    And again a layer of nori leaves.

14. Step 13:

    

    Spread the rest of the rice.

15. Step 14:

    

    Squeeze out the remaining cream cheese from the bag.

16. Step 15:

    

    Slightly level the cream cheese with a knife.

17. Step 16:

    

    Put the sliced red fish in the last layer. Any lightly salted fish will do: pink salmon, salmon or trout. Sprinkle the top of the Sushi cake with sesame seeds.
