Ingredients
- Several thinly sliced cucumber strips. I used a potato grater to make the perfect size.
- Thinly slices smoked salmon
- Thinly sliced-sushi grade tuna . Can also do shrimp
- Some cream cheese
- Thinly sliced avocado
- 1 packet of microwavable sushi rice
- 1/2 tb black sesame seeds optional
- Sprinkle of crunchy onions or tempura flakes
- Spicy mayo - 1tb mayo, 1 tsp sriracha, 1/4 tsp sesame oil
Instructions
- Start by lining an ice cube tray with plastic wrap and press each section down so you can assemble the ingredients. Set that aside.
- Make sushi rice either with the microwave bag or your own method and mix with some black sesame seeds. Set aside to cool.
- To assemble, to the bottom of the ice cube tray you basically just need to layer the fillings. They do not have to be in a particular order. On some of them I did cucumber, then smoked salmon, avocado, dollop of cream cheese. Make your own variations.
- Once all layer, add the sushi rice to each area and gently press down to flatten the rice.
- Carefully, add a tray or cutting board over the ice cube tray and then flip it over. Remove the tray and the plastic wrap slowly. Some pieces might fall over, just fix it, its not the end of the world :)
- Add crispy onions or tempura flakes and drizzle on spicy mayo (mix the 3 ingredients listed above for that)
- I had this with some coconut Aminos or you can use regular soy sauce if you’d like. Enjoy!
