SMALL PUNCH BOWL RECIPES

Steps:

• Prepare yellow cake mix as directed on package. Bake on cookie sheet or jelly roll pan.
• Let cake cool. Tear into small pieces.
• Mix 2 packages vanilla pudding mix with 3 cups milk and 1 can sweeten condensed milk. Let this mixture set 30 minutes. Fold in 12 ounces Cool Whip.
• Put mixture in the refrigerator to set. Begin layering ingredients in punch bowl starting with cake, then strawberries, then pineapple, then bananas.
• Next pour some of the pudding mixture over layers.
• Next add a layer of Cool Whip over (using 16 ounce carton) the layers.
• Continue layering using the order just given until punch bowl is full. Refrigerate until ready to eat.
• This makes a very large cake and is best when prepared the day before serving.
• In a pinch, you can skip the last layer of Cool Whip and it is still wonderful.

Steps:

• Put the rice in a small bowl. Cover with cold water and massage with your hands to remove the starch. Drain and put the rice in a small saucepan with a tight-fitting lid. Cover with a fingertip depth of cold water and simmer over a medium heat with the lid on for 10 mins. Remove from the heat and leave to steam with the lid on for another 15 mins, then stir through the rice wine vinegar.
• Meanwhile, mix the mayonnaise with the shichimi togarashi in a small bowl and set aside. Put the tuna on a chopping board, cut into roughly 1cm cubes, then sprinkle liberally with flaky sea salt.
• In a large bowl, mix the sesame oil, soy sauce, lime juice and chilli flakes. Add the tuna chunks and stir well, so that every piece is coated in the dressing.
• To assemble, put a mound of rice in two bowls. Top each with half an avocado, the tuna and dressing, cherry tomatoes and nori. Sprinkle over the chopped nuts and spring onions, and finish with a spoonful of the spicy mayo.
