Oshi-Sushi with Ebi (Shrimp) and Spicy Maguro (Spicy Tuna)
by Patty
These pressed sushis (not rolled) simply came about because I didn't have any Nori in my pantry. Both were made with sushi rice (seasoned with mirin), layered with sliced avocados and minced cucumber. The shrimps were simply boiled, while the raw tuna was seasoned with mayonnaise and togarashi (japanese hot pepper). Serve with Wasabi paste, Beni Shoga (red pickled ginger) and light soy. Great with hot green tea.
