Molded Sushi With Unagi and Spicy Crab is a fusion-inspired dish that puts a spin on traditional sushi rolls. The combination of unagi and spicy crab creates a sweet and savory flavor profile that is sure to impress at any event. The dish is elegantly presented with a molded sushi shape, garnished with black caviar, baby greens, enoki mushrooms, and nori strips. The health benefits of this dish are numerous, as sushi is generally a low-calorie, high-protein option that contains omega-3 fatty acids. However, the recipe does require some specialty ingredients and a time commitment to prepare, making it best suited for special occasions rather than everyday meals.

Instructions

1.Rinse the rice in cold water until the water runs clear.
2.In a large pot, add the rice, konbu, and water. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low and simmer for 20 minutes.
3.Remove the pot from the heat and let it sit for 10 minutes.
4.In a small bowl, whisk together the rice vinegar, sugar, and salt. Microwave the mixture for 20 seconds to help the sugar dissolve.
5.Transfer the cooked rice to a large bowl. Pour the vinegar mixture over the rice and fold until each grain is coated.
6.In a separate bowl, mix together the mayonnaise, white miso, teriyaki sauce, and sambal oelek.
7.Gently fold in the cooked crabmeat and prepared fish.
8.Lightly spray a small bowl with cooking spray. Spoon the fish mixture into the bowl, pressing down gently. Turn the bowl over onto a plate to release the molded sushi.
9.Garnish with black caviar, baby greens, enoki mushrooms, nori strips, and a drizzle of teriyaki sauce.
