Christmas tree sushi -Deck the halls with boughs of Japanese mayo

Sushi art can keep my attention for way longer than it probably should, but I love it. People can get so creative with it and here’s an example of a cool Christmas twist….even if it’s not exactly “traditional.”  Shape them into little Christmas trees and then chow down.

Christmas tree sushi

300g cooked Japanese rice
2 TBS rice vinegar
100g chopped toro
1 avocado
1 tsp lemon juice
1/2 nori sheet
4 shiso
chopped green onion
ikura
mayonnaise
4 star-shaped cheese (meiji)
soy sauce

Follow instructions in the video to see how to make them. :)

Mushroom pancakes – Toadstool flapjack recipe?

Looks like a mushroom! I promise I won’t start singing again. At least not aloud. At least not here. :P

I was just going to share the picture of my little mushroom-shaped pancake droplet, but then it got me to thinking about what actual mushroom pancakes would be like. Turns out, I didn’t have to look far to find lots of yummy looking mushroom pancake/crepe recipes.

Try these stuff pancakes/krokiety, for example, from Coffee and Vanilla:

*drools* You can see the little pancake bubble pockets….yum.

Or these leek and mushroom crepes (gluten-free, to boot, if that’s up your alley):

Those two are both stuffed/filled varieties, but here’s some with the mushrooms right in it.

These rolls really caught my eye, too. I usually think of pancakes as being a sweet, breakfast dish with a liquid topping, whether syrup, smashed fresh fruit, or just loads of butter. These rolls are more savory, of course, but I still want to top them with maybe a mushroom soup gravy, of sorts, or make them more like enchiladas.

Maybe more like these, but they’re more crepe-like.

I saw several Korean Enoki Mushroom Pancake recipes, too, here, here, and here.

It’s amazing how a single pancake “flavor,” of sorts, can be translated so many different ways.
