Ingredients:

  • 540 ml Sushi rice
  • 1 bag Flavored Kampyo (dried gourd) for sushi
  • 1 large Egg
  • 1/3 Cucumber
  • 1 Salmon roe (approximately 50-100 grams, depending on preference)
  • 1 Tuna (sashimi quality, approximately 150 grams)
  • 1 Salmon (approximately 150 grams)
  • 1 cup Snow peas
  • Additional cucumber slices and fresh shiso leaves (optional for decoration)

Instructions:

  1. Make the kinshi-tamago (julienned omelet) with the egg.
  2. Finely chop the flavored kampyo and mix into the sushi rice.
  3. Lay a piece of plastic wrap in a cake pan. Firmly press the kinshi-tamago and sushi rice down into the cake pan. If you prefer, you can add cucumbers, shiso leaves, etc.
  4. Put a plate on top of the cake pan and flip it over. The base layer is finished. Using a smaller cake pan, repeat the process and carefully add the second layer on top of the base.
  5. For the second layer, omit the Kinshi-tamago. Instead, arrange sliced cucumbers and salmon roe on top.
  6. Thinly slice the salmon and tuna. Roll up 1 slice and add a few more slices around it to make salmon and tuna flowers.
  7. Decorate the base with the salmon and tuna flowers. Boil the snow peas in salted water. Cut into diagonal slices. Position them next to the flowers to imitate leaves.
  8. Spoon salmon roe between 2 flowers
