Nebraska Roll with Spicy Honey Mustard
Ingredients
- 3 cups Short Grain Sushi Rice
- 3 + 1/3 cups water
- 1/4 cup + 2 TB rice wine vinegar
- 1/3 cup + 1/2 TB sugar
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 4 sheets nori (seaweed wraps)
- 8 asparagus spears (seasoned and grilled)
- 1 cup matchstick carrots or julienne carrots
- 4 oz. cream cheese
- 4 oz. Thinly sliced roast beef
- 4 Tb Dijon mustard
- 2 TB mayonnaise
- 3 TB honey
- 1 tsp Chili oil
- salt to taste
Instructions
- Begin the process by preparing the rice. Rinse rice under cold water until the water runs clear and then drain in a sieve for an hour.
- Place the rice in saucepan and cover. Without lifting the lid, bring to a full boil and then lower heat to low and cook for 15 minutes. Remove from heat and remove the lid and immediately cover with a towel and let rest for 15 minutes.
- Combine wine vinegar, sugar and sat and warm over medium heat until dissolved.
- Transfer rice to a bowl and toss with vinegar mixture being careful not to crush the rice. Let the rice cool before placing on nori.
- Using a bamboo mat that has been wrapped in plastic wrap, place a half sheet of nori at the bottom of the mat with the shiny side down. Take a handful of rice and spread over the top of the nori creating a nice even layer. Pull the top portion of the bamboo mat down to flatten the rice, flip and rotate so that the rice layer is now on the bottom.
- Place 1-2 slices of roast beef on top of the nori and then add 1 spear of asparagus, a thin slice of cream cheese and carrots in the middle of the roll.
- Use the bamboo mat to carefully roll the sushi making sure all ingredients stay intact and that the roll remains firm.
- Using a sharp knife, wet the knife before cutting. You should be able to get 6-8 rolls for each. Serve with spicy honey mustard.
- For the honey mustard, combine dijon mustard, mayonnaise, honey and chili oil. Adjust seasonings as needed.
