Got Eggs? How About Mock Sushi
Okey dokey! I’m out of leftover Easter eggs so this will be the last of the boiled egg tips for now. Today’s eggs are again re-shaped using a fish mold then fashioned into a mock sushi!
In case you missed the post on how to transform your egg-shaped egg… 
please see this article for the step by step instructions.
Anyhow… using a fish shaped mold, you can make a fun mock sushi! Just cut in half length-wise and press into a mound of seasoned rice. For today, I used a blend of yellow saffron rice and regular Japanese white rice then mixed it with some nori furikake. One of the “sushi” is wrapped in a shiso leaf and the other in strip of nori asmy failed attempt to disguise the crack that suddenly appeared!
And there you go! Other variations? Try adding wasabi paste and mayo to the yolks before pressing into the rice. Or mixing in katsuobushi! What I don’t recommend is flavoring the rice with real sushi flavor (salt, vinegar, dashi,sugar) because in my opinion boiled egg and sushi rice just doesn’t sound right. But if you like it, go for it!
Oh, if your wondering why this little fishies aren’t featured in a bento… they were so irresistable we ate them right away!
Tee hee! Love the “fish egg” sushi! How about a squirt of sriracha, or togarashi? Mmmm.
Hi sheri, Oh yes, spicy would be perfect! Thanks.
That’s really beautiful. It’s amazing to know that you can shape the eggs. Thats fun to make. I have to go and look for these moulds.
