Disney Tsum Tsum Sushi

I've made many sushi creations to date, but I think this set of Tsum Tsum sushi that I'm sharing today is my favourite by far. I had this idea for awhile and I'm happy they turned out the way I visualized. I will be sharing some photos on how I made these sushi, I hope that they will be useful if you intend to make some of your own. :)


The shapes of the Tsum Tsum characters are just perfect for making into sushi. For this set, I chose Donald, Pooh, Mike Wazowski and Olaf.

Mike is a tamago sushi, Olaf is shrimp sushi, Donald is salmon sushi, and lastly, Pooh is Ikura sushi.


I love them all but Pooh is my favourite out of the lot.


This was actually the first set that I made, there's two more characters here, Piglet and Pluto.


My boys love sushi and sashimi, but I think what they really like is that they get to dip them in soy sauce, lol.


If you are using raw ingredients for your sushi, it's safer to shape your characters in advance and place the ingredients on just before serving.


Want to try your hands at making these sushi? I'm will be sharing how I made Pooh and Donald sushi.


I'll start off with Donald. Since this is for sushi, I mixed some sushi vinegar to the rice before shaping it with cling wrap.


I used two different size oval cutters to cut out the bill and cheeks. I used egg for the bill and the pink part of kamboko(Japanese fishcake) for the cheeks. You can also use different size straws and pinch it to an oval to cut. For the bow, I cut out two heart shapes from tomatoes, using a pair of scissors.


I used a paw craft punch to cut out oval for the eyes from seaweed. I used a pair of scissors to cut out the bow for the hat from seaweed.


Place a slice of salmon on top of Donald.


For Pooh, add some mashed egg yolk to sushi vinegar rice to colour it yellow. Using cling wrap, mould out the rice, I moulded the back half of the sushi lower so that I can place the ikura on that part.


Cut out a strip of nori and wrap it around the rice.


I used a hole punch to cut out nori for Pooh's eyes. The other details were cut out using a pair of scissors.


Usng cling wrap, mould out Pooh's ears from rice and attached them on using pasta sticks.


Add on ikura(salmon roe) before serving these Pooh sushi.

Tsum Tsum Deco Sushi

Hello! I'm back to update my blog today with more recent creations. I got a copy of Tsum Tsum deco sushi book in Japan, and tried my hands on making some using the recipes in the book. The book is in Japanese, but there are pictures, and it's not difficult to guess how to make the sushi from there. I will probably be exploring more creations in the book again.


The first set I made was Pooh, Tigger, Eeyore and Piglet. You might have noticed that the sides aren't neat, it was due to the fact that the knife I'm using is not sharp enough. I actually don't have any sharp knifes at home, I've a phobia of them, I'm so accident prone, I think I'll easily slice off my fingers with a sharp knife.


The colors were done using mashed egg yolks, deco furi and sushi mix. It's not that difficult making these as the recipes in the book was very precise, I just need to work harder on the neatness part.


The second set I made was Mickey, Minnie, Donald, Daisy and Pluto. I accidentally mixed in a little too much grounded black sesame with the rice, the rice turned out too dry and not sticky, so the grey portions were tough to roll, lol. Never mind, I'll learn from my mistake, so hopefully next time will be better.


Ingredients used to get the different colours were ketchup, deco furi, mashed egg yolk and grounded black sesame. The pink portion of Kamaboko was used for Daisy's bow and Donald and Daisy's cheeks.


And here's a shot of the different characters from the two sets I made together. Which one do you like?


I don't think I'll be making so many different designs at one go the next time, probably at most just two or three different ones next round.

Pluto Bento

LT just caught our fever bug. :( He's been feeling warm, with a higher than normal temperature since yesterday, so I kept him with me today. And his temperature just went over the normal range, so I fed him some medicine and he's sleeping now. Hiaz. But he's actually very happy that he does not have to go to School and can stay at home. Hopefully the fever cycle won't last for too many days.

As mentioned yesterday, I did Pluto for today, the cuties version again. I still made bentos for LT, coz I already prepared the decor last night, and he still needed to eat anyway.


IT's bento, in the box are onigiri, salmon, spinach tamago, strawberries and golden kiwi.


LT's bento, same food as above.


IT's bento for recess, in the box are nutella sammies, salmon and blueberries.


LT's bento for School, same food as above except he had strawberry sammies. He had both boxes at home today since he did not go to School.


The boys' boxes for today.


For me, in the box are portobello/pork in miso and spinach tamago.
