Baked rolls, the recipe of which will be presented a little lower, are made very simple. Such products differ from fresh ones only in that after formation they are subjected to heat treatment in the oven.
Baked rolls: ham recipe
As you know, there are a great many options for how to make such a delicious and light Japanese snack. In this recipe, you will be presented with a method where a classic set for making rolls is used, but instead of fresh salmon or salmon, ordinary ham is used.
So, we need:
- nori seaweed sheets - 2 pcs.;
- round-grain Chinese rice - 1.5 cups;
- wasabi - add to taste;
- long fresh cucumber - 1 pc.;
- beef ham - 120 g;
- small sea salt (for boiling rice);
- ripe red tomatoes - 2 pcs.;
- hard cheese - 90 g.
Basic Product Preparation
Before making baked rolls, it is necessary to process all purchased components well. To do this, rinse round-grain rice until the water is clear, and then boil it with the addition of salt until completely soft (so that the croup acquires a viscous consistency and sticks well). Next, you need to wash the fresh cucumber and cut it lengthwise into slices from the sides of 0.8-1 centimeter. The same should be done with beef ham.
Formation process
To prepare the semi-finished products for their further baking, take a sheet of nori and cut it in half along the fibers. Next, put a thick layer of viscous rice on the algae and flavor it with a small amount of wasabi sauce. After the actions taken, the sheet needs to be wrapped in a roll, as a result of which you should get a kind of sausage. It should be cut along in half and left aside for a while. With the second part of the algae, you must do the same procedure.
After you have 4 halves of sausages ready, you need to take a whole sheet of nori and lay 2 ends of the roll in one of the ends with the backs to each other. On top of this layer you need to place the filling, or rather, a few slices of ham and fresh cucumber. In turn, it is necessary to place the remaining parts of the roll on these products and roll up the algae tightly, giving the rolls a square shape.
Heat treatment
Baked rolls, the recipe of which involves the use of aromatic ham, should be cooked in the oven for 14-26 minutes. But before that, you need to cut the sausage into small pieces up to 4 centimeters thick, put them on parchment paper, and place a cap of finely chopped tomato and grated cheese on top. After the specified time, the rolls must be removed from the oven, placed on a flat dish and served with any hot and spicy sauce.
Making baked rolls with mussels together
Cooking such a dish is much easier and faster than the previous one. But before proceeding with the heat treatment of products, they should be beautifully and correctly formed. For this, we may need the following ingredients:
- round-grain rice, intended for sushi - 1 cup;
- nori - 3 pcs.;
- hard cheese (it is better to take the sweet "Maasdam") - 50 g;
- mustard sauce - 1 large spoon;
- cheese sauce - 1 large spoon;
- flavored mussels in oil - 210 g.
Preparation of semi-finished products
Baked rolls at home can not only be served for an ordinary family dinner, but also use them as a tasty, fragrant and beautiful snack for a festive table. To do this, boil round-grain rice in salt water (to a semi-viscous state) in advance, and then rinse it well and completely deprive the liquid. Next, the finished cereal must be evenly distributed on a nori leaf and tightly wrapped using the mat. The resulting sausage must be cut across into eight parts and temporarily set aside.
To make the oriental appetizer as satisfying and tasty as possible, it needs to be covered with aromatic dressing from seafood. To do this, grind aromatic mussels (without oil) with a knife, add mustard and cheese sauces to them, and then mix thoroughly. The resulting filling must be placed on top of the finished rolls, and also put on top a plate of hard cheese.
Baking process
After all the semi-finished products are properly prepared, they should be placed on a baking sheet lined with baking paper in advance, and then sent to the preheated oven for a quarter of an hour. During this time, the rolls should be completely baked and covered with a delicious glossy hat.
How to serve appetizer to the table?
Baked rolls, the recipe of which is presented in this article, should be served immediately after heat treatment. In addition to such an appetizer, it is recommended to offer guests ginger, soy sauce or wasabi. Enjoy your meal!
