???? Leftover sushi? No problem! Don't let those delicious rolls go to waste. Instead, get creative and transform them into exciting new dishes that will make your taste buds dance. From crispy Sushi Burritos to colorful Sushi Salad, we've got 7 mouthwatering recipes that will give your leftover sushi a whole new lease on life.
Equipment
- 1 Large Non-Stick Skillet or Wok Essential for making sushi fried rice and cooking a sushi frittata. Its non-stick surface helps to prevent sticking and ensures even cooking.
- 1 Sharp Knife A must-have for chopping sushi into bite-sized pieces for the sushi salad, sushi nachos, and sushi bowl. A sharp knife ensures clean cuts without squishing the delicate ingredients.
- 1 Mixing Bowls Useful for tossing the sushi salad, mixing the sushi frittata ingredients, and assembling the deconstructed sushi bowl. Having a set of mixing bowls in various sizes is handy.
- 1 Panini Press or Grill Pan Needed for creating that crispy and melty sushi panini. If you don't have a panini press, a grill pan with another heavy pan for pressing can work as an alternative.
- 1 Baking Sheet or Oven Tray Ideal for arranging wonton chips or crackers when preparing sushi nachos, allowing for an even spread of ingredients and crispiness.
