Easy Sushi Bites
Ingredients: (makes around 12 portions)
250g Saitaku Sushi Rice
300g Sushi Grade Salmon/Tuna (sliced)
Saitaku Rice Vinegar
Saitaku Mirin
1 Ripe Avocado (thinly sliced)
50g Cream Cheese
Saitaku Sushi Nori
Japanese Style Mayo
Black Sesame Seeds
Soy Sauce (to serve)
Method:
Prepare the rice as instructed on the packet, season with salt, rice vinegar, and mirin, and let it cool completely off.
Line an empty egg carton with cling film.
Place a slice of salmon or tuna into each cavity.
Place about a spoonful of rice into each egg compartment over the fish, and press well to create the shape. Use wet hands to make things easier.
Add a piece of sliced avocado.
Cream up the cream cheese with a teaspoon or fork, and place half a teaspoon on top of the avocado.
Cut the sushi nori into small squares and place it on top of the cream cheese.
Press well and gently flip over onto a serving plate or chopping board.
Carefully peel off the cling film.
Finish it off with a little mayo and sesame seeds.
Serve with soy sauce and enjoy.
You can prepare this ahead of time. It will hold well in the fridge for a day. Just use the sushi nori only just before serving otherwise it will become soggy.
