Salamander Restaurants Maki Rolls Recipes

SPAM SUSHI MAKI ROLLS

Steps:

• Place sheet of nori on bamboo mat and align with edge nearest you.
• Using a moistened hand, spread about 3/4-1 cup of rice evenly over 5 x 8-inch area leaving 2 inches nori at the far end. Using a knife, spread a light layer of mayo on the rice surface. If adding wasabi, spread a light layer now.
• Arrange cucumber stick(s) 1 inch from edge nearest you, followed by Spam strip(s). Lift mat with thumbs; keep cucumber and meat in place with fingers, and roll mat over meat and away from you.
• When mat touches the rice, lift mat and continue to roll as you would for a jelly roll. Roll again in mat and apply slight pressure to tighten roll.
• To serve, cut each roll into eight pieces. Arrange sushi slices on platter, cut side up.
• I like to just sprinkle a dash of Maggi seasoning sauce onto each sushi, rather than dipping the entire thing in soy sauce, but the choice is yours!
• Enjoy!

DESSERT SUSHI/MAKI

Steps:

• In a small saucepan, bring the milk, cream, rice and salt to a boil. Reduce the heat to low and stir. Cover and simmer gently until the rice is tender, stirring and scraping the bottom several times during cooking.
• Remove from the heat. Add the white chocolate and set aside for about 2 minutes. Stir until the chocolate is melted and evenly distributed. Let cool.
• Lay a sheet of plastic wrap on a damp countertop. Spread the rice on it, forming a (5 x 14-inch) rectangle, you may get 1 1/2 rolls depending on your rice choice.
• Arrange the fruit in a narrow strip lengthwise down the middle of the rectangle. Using the plastic wrap and working from the long sides, roll into a (14-inch) cylinder.
• Twist the ends of the plastic wrap. Refrigerate until very firm, about 3 hours (or about 30 minutes in the freezer).
• Place the grated chocolate on a sheet or plate.
• Remove the rolls from fridge and remove plastic wrap and roll them into the dark chocolate.
• cut into 1 inch pieces for the Maki look then plate with rice facing upward.
• take the schredded kiwi and place on plate as if it were wasabi and the sliced dates as if it were ginger.
