Oshi-zushi from “My Japanese Table” by Debra Samuels has been on our table a few times. Each time, I dutifully followed the recipe to a T. Today, this book came to mind when I was thinking of a way to use leftover from the holidays bits of smoked semga, sturgeon, and butterfish.
Three cups of short grain rice cooked and doctored sushi style with rice vinegar, sake, mirin, salt, and sugar were layered here with fish, arugula leaves, and a touch of mayo-sriracha dressing. For the topping there was a sprinkling
of nori tama with another holiday gift — salmon roe.
A ring from the 9” springform cake pan placed on a regular dinner plate helped assemble this treat.
