Instruction manual
1
Rinse the rice in cold water, the water needs to be changed until it becomes transparent. Fold the washed rice onto a sieve. After an hour, put the rice in a pan and pour water. Place a pan of rice in a medium heat and bring to a boil. Then reduce heat and cook rice for 15 minutes. Remove rice from heat and leave for 15 minutes under the lid.
2
Cut the nori leaf in half, lay it on the makis (special mat), spread the rice on the nori. The rice layer should be 2-3 grains thick, on one side of the nori you need to leave a little free space to wrap the roll.
3
Put cheese on rice, then a strip of fresh cucumber and a strip of trout greased with wasabi. Using makisu, roll a nori sheet stuffed in a tight roll.
4
Prepare a batter to fry the roll. Break the egg into a deep bowl, add 0.5 cups of ice water to it and beat thoroughly. Add a small amount of flour to make a light batter. Tempura flour can be replaced with wheat flour, but then the rolls will taste different. Since the composition of the tempura, in addition to wheat, includes rice flour, starch and spices.
5
Heat vegetable oil in a deep frying pan. Dip the roll in batter, roll in breadcrumbs and fry in hot oil until golden brown. Put the finished roll on a paper towel.
6
Cut the roll into several parts, serve with pickled ginger, soy or nut sauce. Hot rolls go well with chopped daikon and seaweed and sesame salad. You can drink rolls with green or white tea; of alcoholic drinks, plum wine will be most appropriate.
note
Hot rolls must be consumed immediately, without waiting until they cool. Otherwise, they lose their unusual taste.
Useful advice
Instead of trout, you can take salmon, pink salmon, pike perch. Hot rolls stuffed with shrimp, avocado, caviar, crab meat.
