Sushi pizza is a fun and tasty Canadian dish that mixes two popular foods: sushi and pizza! It was created in Toronto, Canada, and is very popular there, especially in the Greater Toronto Area.
This unique dish was invented by a chef named Kaoru Ohsada. He worked at the Nami Japanese Seafood Restaurant and came up with the idea around May 1993.
What is Sushi Pizza?
Sushi pizza uses a special base instead of regular pizza dough. It has a slightly crispy but still chewy patty made from fried rice. This rice base is then topped with delicious ingredients, much like a regular pizza.
Main Ingredients
The main parts of a sushi pizza usually include:
- A layer of sliced avocado
- A layer of sliced salmon, tuna, or crab meat
- A drizzle of creamy sauce made from blended mayonnaise and wasabi powder
Extra Toppings
Sometimes, other tasty additions are served with sushi pizza, either on top or on the side. These can include:
Sushi pizza is usually served warm and cut into wedges, just like a traditional pizza.
A Toronto Favorite
Because it's so popular and easy to find in Toronto, sushi pizza has become one of the city's special dishes. It's as famous as the peameal bacon sandwich, another well-known Toronto food. It shows how different food cultures can come together to create something new and exciting!
