How to make

  1. Prepare. Thaw the green beans following the instructions on the package and cut off the stems. Remove the stem from the cherry tomatoes.
  2. 1. Cut the imitation crab and cherry tomatoes in half.
  3. 2. Thinly slice the green beans. Set aside 8 slices for finishing.
  4. 3. Remove the hard tips and stems from the shiitake mushrooms, and coarsely chop.
  5. 4. Place Step 3, ground chicken, and ingredient (A) in a pot over medium heat. Simmer for about 5 minutes until it becomes minced with long chopsticks and the liquid evaporates, then remove from heat and set aside to cool.
  6. 5. Add the ingredients for the sushi rice to a heat-resistant bowl and mix with a rice paddle, then let it cool.
  7. 6. Cover the mold tightly with plastic wrap, and sprinkle half of the shredded egg omelet (kinshi tamago). Spread 1/6 of Step 5, and sprinkle with half of Step 2. Then, spread 1/6 of Step 5, half of Step 4, and 1/6 of Step 5, and press down firmly on the top. Turn upside down to remove the mold and plastic wrap. Make another one in the same way.
  8. 7. Serve on a plate and garnish the top with the green beans for finishing from Step 1 and 2, then it is ready.

Tips for cooking

Please adjust the amount of sushi vinegar (vinegar used for sushi rice) as you like. A round shape with a diameter of 9cm is used in the recipe, but you can use a milk carton cut into pieces instead of a mold. You can use salmon roe, flying fish roe, or boiled shrimp instead of imitation crab. The key to not to lose shape is to press firmly when adding rice.
