Triangle Sushi Hamantashen

Sometimes life is complicated.

Sometimes recipes are complicated.

I’m finding it hard to get pumped for Purim this year.  It comes out on a Thursday night/Friday right before Shabbat.  It’s COVID-19.  I’m anti-social.  I’m feeling lazy.

Finally, due to COVID-19 Mishloach Manot are…not.  I’ll give the minimum, including some pre-made packaged items, but no one wants to see me in person, and I don’t want to see them – except wearing a mask.  And even then…

Sometimes life is complicated.

Rather than wowing all the recipients of my Mishloach Manot packages as I did in the past, I’m putting my focus on the Purim Seudah.

This year we’re going to do our Purim Seudah meal earlier in the day, like a brunch.  Bagels, cream cheese, lox, etc.  Not to exciting. 

I need to add some excitement to our Purim Seudah.  To Purim. 

I don’t want to do anything too complicated.

Sometimes recipes are complicated.

I came up with a recipe that is not complicated.

Our family loves sushi.  Any kind of sushi.

I thought…

What if we combined the concept of triangular Hamantashen with the making of sushi?

Triangle Sushi Hamantashen…what???

WHAT???!!!

Sometimes you need to use Amazon to make your life easier and to make cool food things.

I perused Amazon and found some cool triangular sushi molds that were not expensive (Bonus!) and were easy to use.  At least that’s what the description said.

I ordered a couple models and got to work.

First model. TangTanger Triangle Sushi Mold, Sushi Mold Rice Mold DIY Tool, White (6) – I liked these the best.

One set came with two different sizes, the other with several different shapes and sizes. 

These were great too. I loved the different shapes.  Triangle Sushi Mold,Heart-shaped Sushi Mold, Plum Blossom Sushi Mold Form Sushi Mold Onigiri Rice Mold DIY Tool, Yellow(4 pcs)

I found that they worked beautifully.  I also learned that it’s best to grease the mold first for the sushi to come out of the molds.  The middle filling part didn’t always look pretty, that’s ok.  It’s the thought that counts.  I kind of feel like if I really wanted to, I could have created little triangular sushi pieces of art.

Kind of pretty…

I just didn’t care that much.  It was still going to taste great.

Right?

I even made three different kinds of sushi rice to go with the three different types of filling I had planned.  I used white sushi rice with my smoked salmon and vegetable filling, brown sushi rice with my mock crab and vegetable filling, and green bamboo rice with my vegetable only filling.  It made for a pretty platter.

Pretty!

The sushi all tasted great. 

Sometimes life is complicated and I’m here to help. 

Here’s how to make it:

Notes

• I made this recipe dividing the rice into three types. When I did this I used 2 1/2 tablespoons rice vinegar, 1/2 tablespoon sugar, and 1/2 teaspoon salt per recipe.
• If you don’t have the molds, you can roll your sushi using traditional methods. Take the roll and flatten into a triangle. Refrigerate and cut into individual pieces after chilling.
