-
For the veggie filling, mix together all the ingredients with the crispy tofu.
-
For the sushi rice, gently mix together all the ingredients.
-
To assemble, grease a mold or cake pan with some oil. I used a bundt cake pan for my sushi cake.
1st layer - Rice: Add a layer at the bottom with half of the rice, pressing gently.
2nd layer - Cucumbers : Then apply a layer of sliced cucumbers.
3rd layer - Mangoes: Now spread a layer of mangoes on top.
4th layer - Tofu & Veggies: Apply a layer of tofu and veggie mixture, pressing gently.
5th layer - Finally add a layer at the top with rest of the rice, pressing gently.
Make sure that the rice layers are packed in nicely as this will help in unmolding and retaining the shape of the cake.

When you’re ready to serve it, place a plate on top of the serving dish, flip it upside down and unmold the sushi cake on to the plate.

Garnish with furikake seasoning, sesame seeds, sriracha mayo, avocado, and green onions. Serve with soy sauce, wasabi, and pickled ginger! Enjoy!
