Sushi Pizza
Sushi pizza is one of my favorite recipes that we enjoy at home as a family or when I’m by myself craving for this fresh delish.
okay, if you’re a sushi lover and you get intimidated by rolling and cutting those challenging sushi rolls, this recipe will save you from that headache.
your hero in this recipe is the Rice. It should be a short grain one. Not necessarily a sushi quality rice but just any short grain rice like for example the GOYA short grain rice that is available in any grocery store.
another secret to have the perfect sushi pizza pieces is, temperature. When you cook the rice it’s very important to toss it in a pan and refrigerate it for at least two hours or to accelerate the process put it in the freezer for 30 minutes. Thanks to the starch in the rice, it will solidify in the cool temperature and give you, first, a neat cut. Second, it will help to hold it shape when you will fry it. What we are sucking for is a thermal shock to create a crispy rice bars.
after this step, all what comes is pure creativity. The topping is really up to you and what you prefer eat. In this recipe I used canned tuna and a hint of crab meat.
you can go creasy with your protein. Use, tuna, crab imitation, shrimp, smoked salmon, chicken if you don’t like seafood…
