Cup of Yum
Pressing Sushi
- Line your oshibako (wooden mold) with a piece of plastic wrap or parchment paper. This will prevent the rice from sticking to the mold.
- Place a layer of unagi kabayaki fillet skin side up on the bottom of your prepared mold.
- Spread an even layer of sushi rice on top of the unagi kabayaki fillet, pressing it gently to ensure it's firmly packed.
- Lay strips of eggs evenly over the rice layer. Then again spread an even layer of sushi rice.
- Close the ingredients with the plastic wrap then place the drop in wooden lid to compress the sushi ingredients all together.
- Use a sharp knife to slice the sushi and drizzle unagi sauce (eel sauce) to serve.
Notes
- *my press sushi mold size is 2.5 inch (W) x 6 inch (D) x 2 inch (H)/6.5 x 15 x 5 cm inside measurements.
