Spicy Crab Spring Rolls Food

SPICY CRAB ROLL | KANI MAKI

Steps:

• Cook the sushi rice. Once cooked, mix in the sushi vinegar. Leave it to cool to room temperature.
• Mix sriracha sauce and mayonnaise together in a bowl. After shredding the crab meat, add the sriracha mayo and mix it well. Toast the nori sheet.
• Place a sushi bamboo mat on a clean flat surface, place a sheet of cling wrap on top. Cut a piece of seaweed into two halves, and spread a thin layer of rice on a piece of seaweed. Gently press the rice with a spoon to flatten it, then sprinkle gomashio on top of it.
• Now, flip the rice and nori sheet, so that your seaweed is facing up. You can then add the spicy Kani salad in Step 2 to the middle of the nori sheet. Add the avocado, cucumber, and mango on top of it, with some mayonnaise.
• Roll the bamboo mat starting at the edge with both hands pressing it down firmly, continue until you reach the end. Leave in the fridge for at least 60 minutes or in the freezer for only 15 minutes. You can now cut your kani maki into pieces and remove the cling wrap for serving.
• If you like, you can place your masago on a plate, then roll each sushi slice onto the masago. Now you can serve your spicy crab roll!

SPICY CRAB ROLL RECIPE

Steps:

• Rinse the rice and add to the rice cooker. Then add water and cook according to the instructions.
• Once cooked, transfer to a large bowl and let it cool. When it's still very warm, mix in the sushi vinegar (or the mixture of rice vinegar, sugar and salt).

• Shred the imitation crab meat using your hands or two forks.
• Add Sriracha mayo and mix well.
• Cut the nori sheet into two halves with kitchen scissors.
• Place half of a nori sheet on top of the bamboo mat shiny side facing down.
• Spread seasoned sushi rice (about 3/4 cup) over nori evenly. Press the rice gently with your hands. (Tips: You can dip your hands in Tezu water to prevent the rice from sticking to your hands).
• Sprinkle sesame seeds on top of the rice.
• Flip the sheet and let the rice side facing down.
• Add the spicy Kani crab salad to the middle of the nori sheet.
• Place the thumbs underneath the bamboo mat and lift the edge up and over the filling.

• More the roll to a cutting board and cut it into 8 pieces.
• Drizzle more spicy mayo sauce on top of the roll for some extra heat.

SPICY SPRING ROLLS

Steps:

• In a very hot wok, briefly saute the ginger, garlic, green onion and chili paste in the oil. Add the bean sprouts, carrots, savoy cabbage, red pepper and mushrooms and cook at high heat until the vegetables begin to soften. Add the mirin, hoisin sauce and soy sauce. Remove from heat and let cool in a bowl at room temperature. Place the spring roll wrappers under a damp cloth to keep them moist. Place wrappers one at a time on a hard surface with one corner pointing towards you. Spoon cooled ingredients into the center. Add a tablespoon of grated cucumber and a sprinkle of cilantro.
• Fold the side corners into the center. Fold the bottom into the center, making sure the three corners are touching each other. To finish, roll the wrapper away from you and up over the final corner. Store rolls under a damp cloth until ready to fry. Heat enough oil to cover the rolls, and fry seam side down until golden brown. Drain on paper towels and serve with your favorite dipping sauce.

FRESH CRAB SPRINGROLLS

Steps:

• Preheat the fryer to 360 degrees F.
• In a small mixing bowl, add the noodles. Season the noodles with sesame oil, soy sauce, salt, green onions and black pepper. Mix thoroughly. Bring water to a boil in a 10-inch saute pan and remove from the heat. Submerge each spring roll wrapper, 1 at a time, in the hot water, moving it around in the water until soft and pliable, 10 to 15 seconds. Remove and lay on the parchment paper.
• In another small mixing bowl, combine the crabmeat, mayonnaise, and chili paste. Mix well. Season with salt and pepper. Place 1 tablespoon of the crab mixture over the wrapper and top with 1 tablespoon of the noodle mixture. On top of the noodles, sprinkle 1 tablespoon of the sprouts. Top the sprouts with the 1 tablespoon of the papaya, 1 tablespoon of the carrots, 1 tablespoon of the cilantro, and 1 tablespoon of the mint. Fold 2 sides of the wrapper toward the center about 1/4-inch, then roll like a jelly roll, pressing the edges together to seal. Repeat with remaining wrappers and filling. Fry half of the spring rolls until golden. Remove and drain on paper towels. Season with salt. Slice each roll in half diagonally. Serve the rolls on a large platter with the Spicy Peanut Sauce. Garnish with chopped cilantro.
• In a food processor, combine all ingredients together. Process until smooth, then transfer to small bowls for dipping.

CRAB SUMMER ROLLS

Steps:

• For the sauce: In a small bowl, whisk together the vinegar, tamari, chili paste, ginger and 1 tablespoon water. Set aside to let the flavors marry for about 10 minutes.
• For the rolls: Meanwhile, in a medium bowl, toss the rice noodles with the sesame oil.
• Fill a pie pan with warm tap water. Working with one wrapper at a time, soak the rice paper in the warm water for about 30 seconds or until pliable. Lay a few pieces of cilantro and basil across the center of the wrapper. Top the herbs with some crab, followed by some of the red pepper and cucumber. Top with approximately 1/3 cup of the dressed rice noodles. Roll the edge closest to you over the filling, pulling tightly. Fold in the ends and continue to roll to seal. Store on a tray with a damp paper towel. Continue with the remaining wrappers and filling. Serve with the dipping sauce.
