Make a Dynamite Roll

When many people go to Japanese restaurants, most of them will always get at least one sushi order before they leave because of its rich taste and fresh, healthy feeling. It is usually not oily, thus attracting many customers who care about their health. One particular roll, though, is not that healthy, but is highly delicious. It is called the Dynamite Roll. It is called this perhaps because for its heavy calorie numbers and its color scheme.

Ingredients

  • sushi rice
  • seaweed
  • mayonnaise
  • caviar/tobiko (flying fish roe)
  • imitation crab
  • teriyaki eel
  • salmon
  • teriyaki sauce

Steps

  1. Gather up the items from the list of ingredients.
  2. Put saran wrap around a sushi rolling mat. This will prevent the rice from sticking to the mat.
  3. Dip your hands in clean water so that your hand will not stick onto rice or any other ingredients.
  4. Put a piece of seaweed on the mat. Then put some rice on top of the seaweed and carefully spread it across the seaweed evenly.
  5. Flip the rice-laden seaweed, so the bare side of the seaweed will be on top. Add the remaining ingredients onto the middle of the seaweed, except for the salmon and mayonnaise. Make sure to leave some tobiko for later use.
  6. Roll up the rice, seaweed and everything in it with the mat. Using the bamboo mat, press harder to make sure it will not fall apart.
  7. Put a long and thin covering of mayonnaise on top of the sushi roll.
  8. Cut a thin, yet long, slice of salmon and put it on top of the mayonnaise.
  9. Add another covering of mayonnaise on top of the salmon. Sprinkle some tobiko.
  10. If the salmon is not cooked, put it in the oven and let it sit until desired amount heat on salmon has been added. Or if you prefer it as is, start to cut and portion and proceed to the next step.
  11. When the roll is baked to desired time, take it out of the oven and cut the roll into equal pieces and add a little teriyaki sauce on the rolls if desired. Other than that, you can enjoy the dynamite roll.
  12. Finished.



Tips

  • The imitation crab tastes better when first sliced into thin slices and added with a little mayonnaise on. Then put it into the roll.
  • This is just one way of making the dynamite roll. Other ways include adding lettuce, cucumber, shrimp tempura, etc.
  • Salmon can be served raw, half cooked, completely cooked or otherwise.

Warnings

  • If the salmon is not fully cooked, be aware there may be dangerous bacteria swarming in the fish if it is not fresh.
  • Be sure the teriyaki eel does not have any bones in it, or it will be a pain to spit it out when enjoying the roll.
