Sushi Cake

Photobucket
It's a cake but it's no bake...It's a cake but it's not sweet...It's a cake but it's so unusual!! Well, well, well it's a SUSHI CAKE! I kinda got this idea after craving for sashimi for a week. At the breaking point of my tolerance, I went straight to Gourmet Supermarket and bought a piece of salmon fillet. Planning to eat it sliced with wasabi and shoyu, I changed my mind and created an image of layers of Japanese this and that in a form of sushi cake.
YOU WILL NEED:
round cake pan with removable bottom
seaweed
Japanese rice
mirin
heavy syrup
Japanese vinegar
a pinch of salt
Dashimaki Tamago (ไข่ม้วน)
Wakame seaweed (ยำสาหร่าย)
Unagi (ปลาไหลญี่ปุ่น)
Ebiko (ไข่กุ้ง)
Salmon
Shrimp
