Alaskan Roll

[jarredbehrendt]

Heres one that I have worked out over the past several months, this is one of the best sushi recipes that I have created.

Sushi Rice:
2 Cup Sushi Rice
2 Cup Water
2 Tbls Rice Wine Vinegar
2 Tbls Sugar
1Tbls Salt

Rinse rice until the water coming off of it is clear (wash away the excess starch). Then I use a steamer to cook the rice as normal with the 2 cups water.

Once the Rice is done then mix the other ingredients in small jar. Put the rice into a wooden or glass bowl and then sprikle the mix over it. Turn in the mix into the rice and allow to cool.

Cream Cheese Mixture:
1 Packet of Cream Cheese
3 Tbls of Seasame Oil
Pinch of Salt
2 Tbls of ground serrano or habenaro peppers (dried)
2-4 Tbls Cream

Mix in all ingredients (except cream) then add cream until you can get the mix into a thick paste and mixed well.

Then place the mix into a piping bag or use a freezer bag and cut a corner of it to pipe it onto the roll.

Sushi Recipe:
1 Sheet of Nori
1/2" thick piece of fresh halibut (sushi grade)
1/2" Thick piece of fresh salmon (sushi grade)
King crab leg
Cream Cheese mixture
Sushi Rice

Place your nori on your sushi mat and spread out and compress your sushi rice to cover all but 1" of the nori on the end nearest you. It helps to wet your hands when handling the rice. Use your palms to smash it down into the nori.

Then place the salmon, halibut and king crab a long the center line of the rice (in strips that is).

Next pipe the cream cheese mix on top of the fish in one solid line about a 1/2" thick.

Then using your sushi mat fold in one end of the roll (the one that has the rice all the way to the edge), then the other. After rolling it together slightly compress it to ensure the roll stays together.

Next wet your knife (it needs to be a very sharp knife) and slice the roll down the middle, then place the two halves together and cut the roll into pieces that are about 1/2 to 3/4" thick.

Serve with soy-sauce and enjoy!

Let me know what you think after you have tried it!

Can you just make it for me? That would probably be best.

[jarredbehrendt]

Sure, just come to my next cookout. I usually do quite a few of them.

Apparently a few people havent been following the rules, you are supposed to try it first. Just because you dont think you will like sushi, doesnt mean it sucks.

[The River Rat]

I'll come to your cookout any time! I love sushi, though I never heared of sushi grade halibut.

[jarredbehrendt]

Sushi grade is just a piece of meat clear of any imperfections (cysts, parasites, etc) that has been frozen at -4 F for 7 days to kill any parasites. Have you tried Blue or Hiro, Hiro is my favorite but its pretty pricey.
