Rolling sushi can be tricky, but pressed sushi (oshizushi) makes it simple, elegant, and fun. 🍣

In this episode, I share the history of oshizushi, how to prepare the traditional wooden mold, why short-grain rice and seasoned vinegar matter, and how to layer fillings like cucumber, avocado, smoked fish, and cream cheese into beautiful sushi squares.

Oshizushi has been around for more than 400 years in Osaka, Japan — created to make sushi easier to transport and keep fresh. Today, it’s still one of the easiest ways to make sushi at home.

 Build bold flavor, layer by layer. This week I’m walking you through my Enchilada Meatball Casserole—a fusion of spicy enchilada sauce, Instant Pot beans and rice, and cheddar-laced meatballs made with crushed corn tortilla chips and serrano peppers. The sauce goes in first to keep the tortillas from sticking, and from there you build upward. Everything you need, including the recipes for the beans, sauce, salsa, and guac, is on the site.
