[Pressed Sushi with Prosciutto and Cream Cheese]
Today we tried our hands at western-style pressed sushi.
We marinated thinly sliced lemons and zucchini in a marinade based on white wine vinegar and lemon juice, and after removing the ingredients, we used the marinade as is for the sushi rice.
The main dish is prociutto, zucchini, and lemon, with avocado and cream cheese in between the sushi rice.
Enjoy western-style pressed sushi that is like a combination of sushi and salad.
*Ingredients
4 or 5 slices of cured ham
Moderate amount of zucchini
1/2 to 1 lemon
1/2 of an avocado
A little cream cheese
A pinch of black pepper
A pinch of sprouts
(Marinade)
2 tbsp of white wine vinegar
1 tbsp of lemon juice
1 tbsp of sugar
2/3 tsp of salt
(Vinegared Rice)
1.5 cups of rice
Marinade (with lemon and zucchini removed)
*How to Make
Cut the zucchini into thin slices with a peeler to fit the length of the pressed sushi box.
Rub the lemons with coarse salt before sprinkling the zest, then run them under water and pat dry.
Marinate 1 and the sliced lemon in the marinade and refrigerate for 30 minutes.
Sprinkle the sliced avocado with the juice of the lemon.
Mix the cooked rice with the marinade after removing the zucchini and lemon to make sushi rice. Cut the rice into pieces and fan it with a fan to cool it down to about human skin temperature.
Place the ham, drained zucchini and lemon in a well-balanced row in the pressed sushi box, then fill with half of the sushi rice and press.
Arrange the avocado and cream cheese on top, then top with the remaining sushi rice and press.
Once cut, remove from the box, top with sprouts, and sprinkle with black pepper.
