Mini Sushi Bundt Cakes ❤️ These are a variation of the sushi bundt cake. This is one of the most controversial recipes I have ever shared by the way! They are a variation of rosca de sushi, which is super popular in my hometown in Mexico (Obregon, Sonora). I am well aware that it isn’t traditional sushi by any means but they are a fun way to eat it and serve your guests.
Why You’ll Love Mini Sushi Bundt Cakes
It is very easy to make and extremely versatile! Every time I serve it up for guests they are instantly impressed by how cute they look. Perfect way to serve up a small group of friends. If you are looking for a way to serve more people, you can also make these into a large sushi bundt, try my Salmon Sushi Bundt Cake !
How To Prepare Mini Sushi Bundt Cakes
🍚 First, mix the rice vinegar, sugar and pinch of salt. Add it to your cooked rice with the sesame seeds and let it cool completely.
🍣 Secondly, add your chopped salmon to a bowl and mix in the Japanese mayo, sriracha, sesame oil, Tamari and the green part of scallions.
🥑 To assemble the mini sushi bundts, you’ll by spraying cooking oil on it. I used avocado oil, but rubbing in sesame oil works as well.
🥒 Then, add the rice on the bottom, pressing in really well. I find that it helps to wet your fingers. Layer in cucumber, spicy salmon mixture and avocado. Then, press in the rest of the rice.
🌟 Using a large board, flip it over… carefully.
🥣 In a bowl, mix in remaining scallions, Serranos and lemon juice. Then, add in Tamari to taste.
🌶 Lastly, top the mini bundts with sriracha, mayo, Shichimi Togarashi and Serrano slices.
Substitutions and Variations
- You can use tuna or yellowtail instead of salmon.
- If you prefer cooked seafood, give my classic sushi bundt cake a try, but adjust it to the mini version.
- Quite easy to turn vegetarian by subbing the fish for mushrooms or even tofu!
- If you don’t have a mini bundt pan, you can use a muffin tin or individual ramekins, just make sure you grease those really well.
- You can use regular mayonnaise instead of Japanese mayo.
- You can use regular cucumbers or Persian cucumbers instead of English cucumbers.
Chef Nadia’s Tip
Cook your rice in a rice cooker the night before. Way better results in my opinion. Also, always use sushi grade salmon.
