Despite the fact that sushi and rolls appeared in Russia not so long ago, they are now deservedly popular. Especially noted lovers of Japanese cuisine rolls "Philadelphia" and "California". At the same time, it is not necessary to visit cafes or restaurants to try them. If you purchase the necessary ingredients, then it is quite possible to make California rolls, the recipe of which is not complicated, on your own.
It is believed that it was invented, more precisely, modernized, the dish was in America in the 70s. One of the sushi bar chefs made a good marketing move by hiding the noriya seaweed, in which sushi is usually wrapped, inside, under a layer of rice. Oddly enough, such rolls have gained much more popularity than traditional sushi, whose fans remain, to a greater extent, the Japanese themselves.
What is included in this dish? The first is crab meat or crab sticks. Sometimes they are replaced with boiled shrimp. There is no raw seafood in this type of roll, which also explains their popularity among Europeans. In addition, there is a fresh cucumber and avocado, as well as specially prepared rice. In some embodiments, carrots can be added. California rolls from above, the recipe of which has changed over time, are rolled in tobiko, flying fish roe, due to which the dish has a beautiful bright color. However, you can use sesame instead, it is already a matter of taste. You will also need sheets of noriya and mayonnaise. The latter is better to take Japanese, which is sold in department stores, where you can buy almost everything for making sushi and rolls.
In this case, rice is taken special for rolls, which can be purchased at many supermarkets and prepared according to the recipe indicated on the package. Most often, thoroughly washed rice is put on fire, water is added at a rate of 2: 1. Rice vinegar is brought to a boil in a separate bowl, salt and sugar are poured into it, mixed. The vinegar mixture is poured into the cooked rice, everything is mixed.
Further, in order to prepare California rolls , the filling recipe can be taken as follows. Cucumbers and avocados are peeled, cut into thin long strips. Crab meat is being cleaned. On a movable mat covered with cling film, with wet hands, rice is laid out in a thin layer. A sheet of noriya seaweed is placed on top, smeared with Japanese mayonnaise, crab meat and vegetables are laid out on it. Everything rolls roll, dipped in caviar. Those who prefer sesame seeds rolls can be sprinkled on top of them. This dish is served with wasabi and pickled ginger, and soy sauce can also be offered separately in dishes.
Vegetarian rolls have a similar recipe , however, only vegetables will be the filling here. This is usually a cucumber mixed with mayonnaise, or avocado carrots cut into thin slices. Sometimes mango pulp is added here, due to which the dish acquires an original taste.
You can prepare California rolls as follows. A thin layer of tobiko is laid out on a bamboo mat, rice is placed on top with a dense layer, on which a sheet of algae is laid out. Boiled and peeled shrimps are cut into small pieces, cucumber pulp cut into slices is added to them, a little mayonnaise, everything mixes well, put evenly on a noriya. On the one hand, the edge rises, and the ingredients gently roll to the end of the elevator. Gently roll rolls to get the correct shape, cut into portioned pieces.
I must say that the California rolls have a similar recipe to the Philadelphia rolls, however, the roll is not made for the latter, and the rice is shaped into dense sausages, on which all the other ingredients are superimposed.
