Avocado Sushi Cake

Instructions:

1. Prepare the Sushi Rice: In a bowl, mix the rice vinegar, sugar, and salt until dissolved. Gently fold this mixture into the cooked sushi rice until the rice is evenly coated. Allow the rice to cool to room temperature.
2. Assemble the Layers:

• Place a thin layer of avocado slices on the bottom of a cake pan (springform pans work well for easy removal).
• Add a layer of cucumber slices on top of the avocado.
• Follow with a layer of the sliced smoked salmon or sashimi-grade fish.

1. Add the Sushi Rice Layer: Carefully press half of the sushi rice on top of the fish layer, smoothing it down to create an even layer. Repeat with another layer of avocado, cucumber, fish, and the remaining rice, pressing down gently after each layer to compact the ingredients.
2. Chill and Set: Cover the pan with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow the layers to set and flavors to meld.
3. Unmold and Garnish: Carefully release the sushi cake from the pan and transfer it to a serving plate. Garnish the top with shredded nori, sesame seeds, scallions, or any other toppings you like.
4. Serve: Slice the sushi cake into wedges and serve with soy sauce, pickled ginger, and wasabi on the side. Enjoy!

Tips for the Perfect Sushi Cake:

• Use Fresh Ingredients: For the best flavor, use fresh sashimi-grade fish and avocados.
• Layer Variation: Feel free to add layers of your favorite sushi fillings, such as crab, spicy tuna, or thinly sliced mango for sweetness.
