Sushi Layers Recipes

PAN SUSHI

Steps:

• Find a pan/container you want to layer in (I made this in a 6-inch round container). Wash and set aside.
• Mix the tuna, salmon, or imitation crab with the mayonnaise in a bowl. Set aside.
• Put the prepared sushi rice on the bottom layer of the pan. Press the rice down with your hand or spatula.
• Layer the mixed tuna, salmon, or imitation crab on top. Pat down.
• Sprinkle a tablespoon of furikake on top. Then follow with a layer of cucumber and avocado.
• Do one more layer of rice, pat down.
• Then top with a tablespoon of furikake and ikura.
• Place the pan sushi in the middle of the table and put a big scoop on your bowl. Make small rolls/bites with sheets of nori. Enjoy! ^_^

SENSATIONAL CALIFORNIA SUSHI SQUARES

Steps:

• Spread plastic wrap over the buttom and sides of a 9 x 13 pan.
• Sprinkle seasme seeds evenly over the buttom of the pan.
• Spoon half the rice over the sesame seeds. Dampen your hands with cold water and press the rice down into an even layer.
• Cover the rice layer with the nori sheets.
• Peel the avocado. Cut the avocado into thin strips and layer over top of the nori.
• Mix the crab, mayonnaise and green onion together. Spoon over the avocado layer and spread evenly.
• Peel the cucumber. Cut the cucumber lengthwise and use a spoon to scoop out the seeds. Cut the cucumber into thin strips and layer over top of the crab meat.
• Spoon the rest of the rice over the cucumber layer. Dampen hands with cold water and press the rice down into an even layer.
• Cover the last layer with plastic wrap. Set another 9 x 13 inch pan on sushi and press down firmly.
• Put pan in the fridge for two hours.
• Take buttom layer of plastic wrap and invert pan on to a cutting surface.
