The crispy on the outside, chewy on the inside rice is topped with sushi-grade fish in <em>umami<\/em> sauce, which is made of wasabi and soy, and then garnished with chopped onions and <em>tobiko<\/em>\u00a0(fish roe).<\/p>\n<h3>The Birth of Sushi Pizza<\/h3>\n<p>It all began when chef, Kaoru Ohsada moved to Canada in the 1980s and began working at Japanese restaurants. Ohsada was trained in French cuisine and while working at Nami in the 1990s, he experimented with cooking techniques as he shared none of the deference of traditionalists to sushi.<\/p>\n<p>A restaurant meal of smoked salmon on a hash brown, gave him the idea to do something similar to sushi as well. Ohsada fried some sushi rice, topped it with salmon and presented it with chopped onions and flying fish roe. Customers loved it, and his bosses were pleased to have some use for leftover rice.<\/p>\n<p>Ohsada later improved his original creation by adding a drizzle of spicy mayonnaise and a soy-wasabi sauce to the garnish. And this is how these mini sushi pizzas came into being.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p style=\"text-align: center; letter-spacing: 5px; font-size: 16px; margin: 0;\">ALSO READ<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a style=\"font-size: 20px; font-weight: 600; font-family: Raleway ,sans-serif;\" href=\"https:\/\/propakistani.pk\/lens\/british-retailer-sweet-potato-biryani-wrap\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">This British Retailer Thinks You&#8217;ll Love Sweet Potato Biryani Wrap<\/a><\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-272526\" src=\"https:\/\/propakistani.pk\/lens\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/SushiPizza_Getty_main.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1160\" height=\"1160\" srcset=\"https:\/\/propakistani.pk\/lens\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/SushiPizza_Getty_main.jpg 1160w, https:\/\/propakistani.pk\/lens\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/SushiPizza_Getty_main-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/propakistani.pk\/lens\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/SushiPizza_Getty_main-300x300.jpg 300w, https:\/\/propakistani.pk\/lens\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/SushiPizza_Getty_main-768x768.jpg 768w, https:\/\/propakistani.pk\/lens\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/SushiPizza_Getty_main-1024x1024.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/propakistani.pk\/lens\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/SushiPizza_Getty_main-65x65.jpg 65w, https:\/\/propakistani.pk\/lens\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/SushiPizza_Getty_main-192x192.jpg 192w, https:\/\/propakistani.pk\/lens\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/SushiPizza_Getty_main-384x384.jpg 384w, https:\/\/propakistani.pk\/lens\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/SushiPizza_Getty_main-110x110.jpg 110w, https:\/\/propakistani.pk\/lens\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/SushiPizza_Getty_main-220x220.jpg 220w, https:\/\/propakistani.pk\/lens\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/SushiPizza_Getty_main-561x561.jpg 561w, https:\/\/propakistani.pk\/lens\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/SushiPizza_Getty_main-1122x1122.jpg 1122w, https:\/\/propakistani.pk\/lens\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/SushiPizza_Getty_main-364x364.jpg 364w, https:\/\/propakistani.pk\/lens\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/SushiPizza_Getty_main-728x728.jpg 728w, https:\/\/propakistani.pk\/lens\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/SushiPizza_Getty_main-608x608.jpg 608w, https:\/\/propakistani.pk\/lens\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/SushiPizza_Getty_main-758x758.jpg 758w, https:\/\/propakistani.pk\/lens\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/SushiPizza_Getty_main-1152x1152.jpg 1152w, https:\/\/propakistani.pk\/lens\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/SushiPizza_Getty_main-48x48.jpg 48w, https:\/\/propakistani.pk\/lens\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/SushiPizza_Getty_main-96x96.jpg 96w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1160px) 100vw, 1160px\" \/><\/p>\n<h3>A Treat For Seafood Lovers<\/h3>\n<p>Today, this sushi pizza comes with various toppings of crispy fried onions, pickled ginger, <em>nori <\/em>(seaweed), and even sometimes avocados.<\/p>\n<p>The Toronto trend became even more crazy in United States, where some restaurants make sushi pizzas that truly resemble the traditional pie.
