How to prepare flower-shaped sausage sushi

• 1

  Mix vinegar and spinach salt

  Add 1/2 tablespoon of salt, 1/2 tablespoon of sugar, and 1 tablespoon of vinegar into a bowl, stir well until the ingredients dissolve.

  After purchasing, wash the spinach thoroughly, blanch it briefly in boiling water, then remove and rinse with cold water, placing it in a food zip bag along with 1/2 tablespoon of the freshly mixed sushi vinegar.

  Seal the zip bag tightly, gently squeeze around the spinach to allow the vinegar to soak in evenly and let it marinate for about 15 minutes.

  Tip: You can blanch the spinach and then mix it with sesame oil instead of using spinach salt, it will also be very delicious when eaten.

  Roll the rice and shape the cherry blossoms

  You cut a piece of seaweed crosswise into 5 equal small pieces with a width of about 2 finger joints.

  Then you divide the pink rice into 5 equal parts, take 1 part and spread it evenly on the small piece of seaweed. Place it in the center of the bamboo mat to roll, then roll it back to form the petals.

  Next, you place 2 small sushi rolls that you just rolled underneath and 1.5 cheese sausages on top in the center of the bamboo mat, arranging the remaining small rice rolls around the sausage, alternating with 1 salted spinach stem in between the small rice rolls.

  Finally, you shape and roll it tightly so that the sushi pieces stick together and form the shape of cherry blossoms when viewed from both ends of the bamboo mat.

  Tip:

  • If you don’t have cheese-flavored sausages, you can replace them with regular sausages or add a little crab stick, Chinese sausage to enhance the flavor.
  • To make it easier to roll and shape the flowers, you should hold the bamboo mat up to arrange and shape it!
