“Sushi donuts” are the new craze

Food24

Who would have ever thought that donuts and sushi would come together to make a beautiful combo that is completely mesmerizing to the eye and mouth-watering!

It all started two weeks ago when Melbourne-based Instagram user sobeautifullyraw posted an image of her new creation, the “Sushi Donut”. The post got over 17k likes and started a new trend. Everybody is now trying to recreate them at home.

Apparently it’s as easy as greasing a doughnut pan with coconut oil, pressing in some cooled sushi rice, flipping the pan upside down and decorating with some mayo, wasabi, tuna, salmon – the list goes on.

You can’t go wrong with an avocado rose (another trend) to make a perfect addition to the circular theme (watch video below to see how it’s done).

6. Pretty and colourful!

Sushi donuts!!! ? Inspired by the creative genius that is Sam @sobeautifullyraw ?? these were a revelation, really delicious. I had them for lunch the other day and chuckled when I wondered how many other people on the planet would be eating sushi donuts at the same time. ??Random thought but it was a very unique and tasty lunch hehe. ??The sushi rice is coloured with beetroot and purple cabbage juice and I topped them with avo, black sesame, wasabi and a cashew mayo. If you think vegan food is boring, these will prove otherwise! ?? Happy Friday ?? hope you’re doing something fun tonight! I’ve had a super long day at work so the weekend can’t come soon enough ?????? let’s make it a good one ??????
