layered rice cake with shrimp

layered rice cake with shrimp

(i don't really  have a formal name for this dish, but this is as close as it gets)

ingredients
cooked rice (white or brown)
crab meat (shredded)
cooked shrimps
boiled eggs
canned tuna
mushrooms
lettuce





1. place plastic wrap over a bowl (size of choice).
2. put thin layer of rice and a layer of tuna. make sure you don't put too much rice, you have about three more layers of rice to add.
3. repeat step 2 with desired toppings. i used tuna, crab meat and chopped red peppers.
4. the top layer should be rice. this will help hold the cake in place. now press it down so it doesn't break. place a large plate on top and flip it over, remove the wrap.
5. mash the boiled yolk and use the strainer to sprinkle on top.
6. add shrimp and mushroom to decorate the cake and arrange chopped lettuce around the cake.

*tip: season the rice with rice vinegar or salt before making the cake.
you can mix the tuna and mayonnaise together for full flavour.


this is a simple yet fancy dish for special occasions. not much cooking is required, only need to make rice and boil eggs. how about your custom-made layered rice cake for upcoming birthday?
