7-Layer Sushi Dip
A fun twist on your favourite party dip! PERFECT for sushi lovers, and bonus - it can be made pregnancy friendly with some non-raw fish options! This dip is totally customizable. Just assemble your favourite sushi toppings by layering them one on top of the other and enjoy!
The Wine Pairing
I recommend pairing this with a dry (not sweet) German riesling. This style of wine is perfectly fresh, crisp, and aromatic and compliments the sushi flavours without overpowering the dish! The salt in the dip also helps to soften some of the wines acidity and further enhance the wine’s gorgeous flavours!
My Wine Recommendations
If you can find it, I HIGHLY recommend the Andreas Bender Paulessen Riesling. Such incredible quality at such a great price! If this isn’t an option for you, the Dr. Loosen Dry Riesling is an always reliable, delicious, affordable option that you can easily find in stores.

Ingredients
Instructions
- Thoroughly rinse rice under cold water until water runs clear. Add rice and water to a pot and bring to a boil. Reduce heat to simmer and cook until water is fully absorbed, about 15 minutes. Turn off heat and let sit for another 10 minutes and then transfer to the fridge to allow the rice to fully cool.
- Meanwhile, mix together rice vinegar, sugar, and salt in a small ramekin and microwave for 30 seconds. Mix again to ensure salt and sugar have dissolved, then pour over sushi rice. Mix well to combine and set aside.
- Add sushi rice to the bottom of your dip dish (6-8 inches in diameter is best) and top with chopped roasted nori snacks.
- Mix together sauce (soy sauce, spicy mayo, and chili oil) and drizzle over chopped nori and rice.
- Mix fish of choice (salmon, tuna, crab, or shrimp) with spicy mayo and spread overtop the nori.
- Mash avocado in a small bowl and add pickled ginger brine and furikake. Spread mashed avocado over the fish, followed by another drizzle of sauce.
- Add a layer of chopped cucumber followed by shredded carrots and pickled ginger. Top with a drizzle of spicy mayo and furikake seasoning.
- Serve with sesame crackers or spooned into roasted seaweed snacks!
