I remember first making Totoro deco sushi (kazarimaki sushi) sometime ago in 2013. The design and arrangement/use of ingredients were slightly different from what I made today.
This time round, I was able shape and design the whole deco sushi to include Totoro’s eyes and ears in the roll too.
Was really fun to make the Totoro sushi.
The grey portion of the sushi rice was made by mixing sushi rice with ground black sesame.
The whites of the eyes are actually 2 cheese sausages that I added into the sushi roll.
And the other details of Totoro like the eyes, whiskers and lines were cut from seaweed.
A simple meal of Totoro deco sushi and miso baked salmon fillet.
Healthy and very delicous~ miso and salmon goes well together.
Drink a cup of hot tea as you enjoy this sushi will be so awesome too~
While this Totoro Sushi is not in my upcoming new cookbook, there will be some 30 other deco sushi recipes, Stay tuned to more updates on my blog and social media.
And a glimpse of my new cookbook here.
