This can also be turned into a poke bar, each person creating their own bowl, after setting out the various layers in serving bowls.
January 12, 2023 (This should be potentially re-named as the Leaning Tower of Crudo!)
I have grown to love sashimi, as well as yellowtail crudo, and all similar fresh raw fish, especially when served with a tasty umami sauce. To make this into a meal, I have stacked some of my favorite ingredients to create mini "towers". This is a really fun meal to make with friends or family, because each person can be in charge of prepping one layer of the tower/meal.

Ingredients and Preparation
Make Ahead (I usually already have these on hand...so if you want leftovers available in your fridge or pantry, then just double or triple the recipe on these.)
Nori Crumble - Click here for the link (scroll to the bottom of the page)
Cooked rice
Hardboiled eggs
Spicy Mayo:
3 tbsp homemade mayo (or avocado oil mayo)
1 tbsp Sriracha sauce
1/2 tsp Tamari
pinch of kosher salt
1. Cut the garlic, ginger, chives, red bell pepper and jalapeño (if you're using jalapeño as part of your garnish)
2. Assemble the fish layer and put in fridge, covered.
3. Chop the eggs and avocados
4, Assemble the remaining layers below, each in a separate bowl.
Fish Layer
Avocado Layer
2 chopped & roughly mashed avocados (no large pieces)
1 tsp of Yuzu or fresh lemon juice
salt and pepper
Egg Layer
3 chopped hard-boiled eggs
3 tbsp finely diced red bell pepper
1 tbsp chopped chives
1 tbsp spicy mayo (see above)
salt and pepper
Rice Layer
2 cups cooked sushi rice, or short-grained rice (from 1 cup dried rice)
2 tbsp rice vinegar
1 tsp sugar
1 tsp pink Himalayan salt
Crudo Sauce
1 tbsp Yuzu juice or fresh squeezed lemon juice
3 tbsp Tamari
1/4 tsp Chili oil
Optional Toppings
Finely diced red peper
sliced chives or cilantro micro greens
Nori Crumble (see link above)
Thin-sliced jalapeno
On each plate, drizzle some of the Crudo Sauce (or lay down a butter lettuce leaf).
Get out a a 2/3 cup measuring cup, or another cup that is about the same size (you'll use this 6 times...so either 2 or 3 towers per person) In the cup, you'll add fish layer to 1/4 way up. Sprinkle some Nori Crumble. Add avocado so the cup is halfway full. Add the egg mixture to 3/4 full. Fill the remainder of measuring cup with the rice and pack down a bit.
Invert the cup and using a knife, gently prod out the stack. Garnish with some optional toppings (see above.)
These stacks are delicious served alongside some hot, salted Edamame
