Sushi Bake

 

I had another one of my great grandfather's letters home from World War I transcribed and ready to go but I had forgotten to look through his war photo album to illustrate the post, so I put it on hold and will try to get it done for next Friday. I had a pretty busy week so it is no wonder that the final editing job slipped my mind.

So without a scheduled post, I looked through my phone for a photo to put in its place and came across the one above. This was a creation created by my eldest daughter that we called a warm sushi bowl. Underneath all the cucumbers and avocados, her most favorite food in the world, is sushi rice topped with come cooked salmon, unagi and spicy mayo sauces. It is warmed in the oven and then topped with the avocado and cucumber before serving which we dish up into bowls and eat with spoons. Heathen! We can all use chopsticks and have many pairs in our drawer but with a bowl, it just makes for easier eating with spoons.

It was delicious and the four of us easily polished off all but a couple spoonful of the dish. Best of all, it took us a tiny fraction of the time it would have taken us to make it in rolled form with seaweed wrappers.

    1. My daughter prefers all her sushi cooked. I guess I do too though I have eaten plenty of good sashimi.

  4. Incidentally, the post with the letter from France came through in Feedly and I could read the whole thing. Then when I went to comment on it on your blog, the post wasn't there.

    1. Yeah, it did post but when I discovered it, still without comments, I returned it quickly to draft form.

  6. I did see the other post, Bordeaux, France, Nov 2, 1918, in Reader but I didn't read it. It happens sometimes, I think when you publish and then unpublish.

    1. Yes, I have seen that happen periodically on other blogs and I always assume that like my post, it wasn't quite ready for showtime and the author withdrew it back to draft form.

  7. Looks delicious and easy! I would definitely use a spoon to eat it. A large soup spoon. Chopsticks would be difficult.

    1. While not impossible, using chopsticks was definitely slow going.

  8. We used to make makizushi for friends in Illinois many, many moons ago. It's a LOT of work. I love your idea of doing it like a casserole. Yuuuum!

    1. It was very simple to throw together and without worrying about rolling, very fast too.

  9. That DOES sound good! I always thought the worldwide boom in avocado production was due to guacamole, but I suppose sushi could have something to do with it as well.

    1. Although meh on plain avocados, I do like a good guacamole though I would guess I haven't had any in a decade. My daughter likes to slice up an avocado on a toasted piece of bread and sprinkle bagel seasoning over the works and nosh on that for breakfast.

  10. Barb would love that! She loves all things avocados. I am learning to like them, not a huge fan as of yet.

  11. Having never tried sushi, I have to say I'm curious. The avocado would definitely tempt me to try some.
