Ingredients: 2cups rice (since it's a roll, you don't NEED short grain; medium will do just fine) 1/2lb Tiger Shrimp (bigger the better) Olive oil w/ a hint of sesame or vegetable if you want to be cheap >.>" Pack of Nori (choose your own quality... i personally prefer "Yuuka" grade from yamasho inc.... though.. good luck getting your hands on that grade; i think it's like... $400 some USD for a box of 10 of the stuff >.>') Shari-Su: 3 1/2cups Salt 12 quarts Rice Vinegar 8 quarts Sugar (These proportions are for an industrial kitchen, if you want a home recipe.. do your own conversion =.=''' since i had to get those measurements from like 2cups of rice vinegar.... ) Tempura Batter: 1c Rice flour 1c "ICE" cold water 1 egg Recommended fillings for a "Tempura roll" : Finely julienned cucumber (preferably japanese cucumber) Kaiware (radish sprouts) Japanese mayo or if you prefer, spicy mayo (Japanese mayo, sriracha, sesame chili oil and shichimi togarashi) Masago (Smelt roe) gomae (toasted sesame seeds) Shichimi togarashi (seven spice powder) Procedure: 1. Wash rice and cook w/ equal ratio water in Rice cooker (if no rice cooker, then in a heavy pot, bring rice to boil, cover, then simmer for 25-30 min.); 2. Heat rice vinegar, sugar and salt together then stir until solids are dissolved. Set aside to cool. 3.Add and mix shari-su immediately after extracting rice from cooking pot. Cool to room temp then store. 4. To prepare shrimp for tempura, remove head of shrimp. Straighten out the body then slit a quarter way down the center of the underside. Flip shrimp then make multiple shallow scores diagonally across the top of the shrimp. Squeeze gently (you will feel the meat pop) until the shrimp is stretched out (1.5-2 times it original length). 5. To prepare batter, lightly mix all ingredients together. Despite what all other recipes tell you, batter should be lumpy and not mixed well. 6. Dip the shrimp into batter and drop into oil. Remove just as it turns a yellow gold. NOT after it's become "golden brown" (it's over-cooked by this point). transfer finished products to towels to drain excess oil 7. I'm not going to explain how to roll maki-mono due to it's complexity and difficulty of explaining it proper w/o the support of a visual guidance >.>"" 8. As for serving it... I personally don't think the saltiness of shoyu nor the pungency of wasabi will suit this specific roll. I'd rather just dip it into a spicy mayo or even ponzu sauce >.>''' yeah.... i haven't slept in about 26 hours... >.>'' so please excuse the randomness of this recipe >.<'' although i do hope it helps ^_^ In the shadows beneath the trees he waits. In the darkness under the moon he plots In the silence of the night he kills. |
