Basically, it’s a matter of doing the familiar – boiling (rice), chopping, spreading, stirring, mixing, layering, stacking and drizzling. From crunchy sesame seeds, crispy wonton, creamy avocado and spicy Shiracha to zesty mango salsa, each ingredient tantalizes taste buds with its own special sublime-ness.įocusing on the big picture of Spicy Shrimp Stacks with Mango Salsa may intimidate you.

Remember how the inside of each doll was hollow and opened to divulge a smaller doll, which held a smaller doll, which… If you’re not familiar with the stack food way of plating, think nesting dolls. Those sushi chefs make it look annoyingly easy.įor a much quicker yet elegant fix, replace those 30 minutes of frustration with some fancy cocktail picks and you'll have beautiful little stacks that will not disappoint.Stacked Sushi is the latest Big Idea in food service. Or at least don't wait to give it your first shot 30 minutes before an event where you're planning on dazzling your guests. If you've never attempted to make sushi rolls from scratch that can actually be picked up with chopsticks and transferred from plate to mouth without falling apart into a sad mess, word of advice: don't. It adds the perfect cool, yet spicy kick to these sushi bites.Īnother thing that I love about making these low carb sushi stacks is the fact that you don't have to take a crash course in sushi rolling. Literally, you can throw this magical ingredient into so many recipes and voila, you saved yourself some major Cals my friend.įor this recipe, we're making a lighter version of spicy mayo with just two simple ingredients - Greek yogurt and Sriracha.

The ingredients in these California Roll Low Carb Sushi Stacks are wedged between two slices of cucumber. BUT, eliminating the need for a rice-like ingredient at all works like a charm also.

I'm not sure that I totally believe the old saying "you are what you eat" but I'm 99.9% sure I'd rather not have to myself everywhere.

Oh my, if I had it my way.I would eat sushi rolls all day every day.
