Salmon Sushi Cake

Celebrate with a sushi cake that everyone loves! 

Sweet cakes are great, but why not try making this sushi cake with your family for a special occasion? While it’s well known for the Doll Festival in Japan, it’s also perfect for birthday parties, Christmas, or New Year’s. 

All you need to do is cook the rice, then top it with ASC certified salmon and your favorite ingredients. Decorating it together with your children makes it a fun experience—and even more delicious! 

By choosing seafood with the ASC label, you’re making a safe choice that helps protect future generations. 

Instructions / Directions

1. Mix (A) together. 
2. Transfer freshly cooked rice to a large bowl or container, evenly sprinkle (1) and white sesame seeds over it. Using a fan to cool the rice, mix it gently with a rice paddle in a cutting motion.

5. Repeat (3) until all the egg mixture is used. Then, cut the stacked thin omelettes into fine strips. 
6. Slice the salmon and avocado thinly. 
7. Line a 15 cm cake mold with plastic wrap and spread half of the seasoned rice (2) evenly at the bottom. 
8. Layer avocado, salmon, kinshi tamago, and shiso leaves in order over (6), then cover with the remaining seasoned rice and press lightly from above. 
9. Invert the cake mold onto a plate and remove the plastic wrap. Garnish with kinshi tamago, salmon, and optional toppings such as cucumber, radish, radish sprouts, and dill.
