Equipment

  • 2 ice cube trays

Ingredients

Sushi Rice

Philadelphia Roll

  • 4 oz. smoked salmon cut horizontally into ½ inch strips
  • 1 package sushi nori
  • 1 cucumber peeled and seeded and sliced into thin sticks
  • 1 cup boiled asparagus cut into 1/2 inch
  • ½ block cream cheese 4 oz.
  • 1 cup cooked shrimp thin cut vertically
  • 1 hass avocado cut into thin slices

Instructions

  • Cook the short grain rice according to package instructions, or in a rice cooker with 2 cups of water.
  • Mix the rice vinegar, sugar, and salt in a small saucepan and cook on low heat until the sugar and salt have dissolved.
  • Transfer your rice to a large bowl and fold in the vinegar mixture. Once all of the rice is coated, set aside and allow it to cool to room temperature.
  • Cut the sushi nori sheet into the same size as your ice cube tray. Lightly spray your ice cube tray with cooking oil, and add a little rice to some cubes. You can also begin with the nori sheet, your favorite veggies, or smoked salmon. Layer it as you wish. 
  • Last layer should be rice. Pack it in good. Refrigerate for 10 minutes then flip onto a serving board. Top with thinly sliced avocado. Enjoy with wasabi, and dip it in some soy sauce!

Notes

Tips For Perfect No-Roll Sushi Cubes!
  1. Prepare everything beforehand! Make sure you have all the ingredients and items you are going to need before starting the cooking session.
  2. If you are afraid that your rice will stick to the ice cube tray even after spraying cooking oil, then lay cling film on the tray and make sure it is pushed all the way down. Once ready, flip the tray and enjoy the sushi cubes.
  3. Don't overfill the cubes, or you will find yourself with a mess of spilled rice once you try to flip the trays.
