Lazy Sushi Cake

4 servings

40 minutes

Lazy sushi cake is a culinary creation that combines the simplicity of preparation with the sophistication of Japanese cuisine. It incorporates the main components of classic sushi: rice, nori, red fish, and cream cheese, layered like a cake for visual appeal and easy serving. The flavor is harmonious: the cream cheese's tenderness blends with cucumber's freshness, fish's saltiness, and nori's light crunch. It's an ideal option for those who want to enjoy sushi without rolling it up. Best served with soy sauce and pickled ginger to enhance the flavors.
