Do You Love Doughnuts? And Sushi Too?
I love food trends: they can be serious, they can be goofy, but I always love new trends that take off and become culinary sensations…and here is the latest!
“Sushi Donuts!”
That’s right – these are amazing “sushi donuts” – sushi rice pressed into a donut mold, then topped with lots of fresh fish and sauces!
I read about a restaurant in Chicago that has made this unique take on sushi!
“I’m always looking for something, a new concept,” said owner Fritz ColCol.
ColCol’s taking this new taste fad to a new level, but he’s not alone…
California Poke!
A restaurant in Southern California holds the title as the originator of the Sushi Donut.
Project Poke in Orange County, CA came up with the idea of stuffing rings of rice with avocado or spicy tuna and then adding masago, cabbage, cucumber, and loads of fresh fish.
Watch this video!
Bravo to Project Poke for this amazing creation, and kudos to Trulia for taking it to a whole new level! And speaking of unique food mashups:
Bite Into A Ramen Noodle Burger!
Yes, here’s a burger that uses ramen noodles as buns! I enjoyed this in Koreatown in LA, and I loved it! See the pictures and recipe here:
And since everything is Asian-influenced, how about this “ramen” pizza?
A “Ramen Noodle” Pizza!
Yes, it’s a pizza topped with ramen noodles! I found this online, being made in Japan of course…I haven’t tried it, but would if I could! See more wackiness here:
I can’t wait to bite into a sushi donut!
But if you love dessert, why not eat this sushi:
Because it’s actually cake!

Like some of the others commenting, I’ve never been a big sushi fan, so this one is out despite my love for donuts.

Well… I’ll have to pass on the sushi donuts. You are the brave one, John!

Fantastic! I am doing a big sushi workshop in February, so I’ll try to recreate it and show it, if it works.

They look good, but I don’t care for the texture of raw fish.

Oh no! Sushi is my all-time favorite food and these look like fun IF and only if the rice isn’t too much for the fish! Thanks for commenting!
