Lc Salmon And Veggie Roll Recipes

SALMON SUMMER ROLLS

Steps:

• In a small bowl, combine the peanut butter, hoisin, water, fish sauce, ginger, and red pepper flakes and mix well. Cover and set aside until ready to serve. (The sauce will keep in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.)
• Bring a small saucepan filled with water to a boil over high heat. Remove from the heat, add the rice vermicelli, and let soak until tender, 3 to 10 minutes, depending on the thickness of the vermicelli. Drain in a colander, rinse under cold running water, drain again, and pat dry. If desired, grab a pair of scissors and make a few cuts through the noodles to make them less gangly and more manageable.
• Have ready a large bowl of warm water, a clean dry kitchen towel, a platter, and the rice paper wrappers. Dip a wrapper into the water, turning to dampen both sides, until sorta soft but still sorta firm. The exact timing will depend on the warmth of your water and the brand of rice paper wrappers but could be as little as a matter of seconds. Place the wrapper on a damp towel or cutting board and assemble the first roll by laying a small portion of pea shoots horizontally on the bottom third of the dampened wrapper. Top with a small mound of noodles, spreading them horizontally. Place some salmon, a couple of pieces of scallion, and three cilantro sprigs horizontally on top. (You want to use 1/8 of the total amount of each ingredient for each roll.) Roll the edge of the wrapper nearest you over the filling just a little, tucking the filling inside and creating a tight cylinder. Roll it halfway over again and then fold in the sides of the cylinder, envelope style or, if you prefer, burrito style. Continue rolling the wrapper, keeping the filling tightly packed in the cylinder. (It's important to roll the ingredients into a snug cylinder. If it's not snug, the filling will fall apart when you cut or bite into the roll.) Place the roll, seam-side down, on the platter.
• Repeat with the remaining rice paper wrappers and filling ingredients. Cover the summer rolls with a damp paper towel and then with plastic wrap and set aside at room temperature for up to 2 hours.
• Cut each summer roll in half on the diagonal. Arrange on a platter or on individual small plates, making certain that the summer rolls don't touch or they'll stick together like crazy glue. Serve with little bowls of the dipping sauce.

SPICY CRUNCHY SALMON ROLL WITH AVOCADO

Steps:

• Rinse rice in a strainer until the water runs clear. Drain.
• Combine rice and 1 1/2 cups water in a saucepan over medium-high heat; bring to a boil. Reduce heat to low, cover, and cook for 20 minutes.
• While the rice is cooking, combine vinegar, sugar, and salt in a small saucepan over medium heat. Cook and stir until sugar dissolves. Remove from the heat and let cool.
• When the rice is finished cooking, remove from the heat and stir in the vinegar mixture. Allow rice to cool completely, about 30 minutes.
• Place nori sheets on a work surface. Divide rice evenly between the sheets, then use a rice paddle to spread and flatten it out to the edges. Flip sheets so rice is facing down.
• Arrange avocado slices in a strip down the middle of each sheet. Layer with 1 1/2 cream cheese strips, 1 tablespoon panko, and 1 cucumber strip. Roll each sheet carefully, but tightly, around the fillings.
• Place thin layers of salmon on top of the rolls, then add masago and drizzle with hoisin and Sriracha mayonnaise. Sprinkle black and white sesame seeds over top. Slice each roll into 8 pieces.

FUN SALMON HAND ROLL

Steps:

• *Can be found at specialty Asian markets
• Serving suggestion: wasabi, sweet picked ginger, soy sauce
• In a medium bowl, mix together the chopped salmon, sesame oil, soy sauce, and mint leaves. Place a sheet of nori, shiny side down, on a work surface. Place 1/4 cup of the rice on the left side of the nori sheet. Using wet fingers, form the rice into a 3-inch square, leaving a 1/2-inch border. Place about 2 tablespoons of the salmon mixture, diagonally, in a 1/2-inch wide strip, on the rice, with the top of the salmon mixture facing the top left corner. Place a spear of asparagus on top of the salmon. Starting with the bottom left corner, roll the nori over the filling. Continue to roll, ice cream cone-fashion, working towards the right corner of the nori. Seal the edge of the hand roll with water or a few grains of the cooked rice. Repeat with the remaining ingredients.
• Arrange on a serving platter and serve with wasabi, sweet pickled ginger and soy sauce.
• Yield: 8 hand rolls
• *Can be found at specialty Asian markets
• Place the rice and water in a medium saucepan over high heat. Bring the mixture to a boil. Cover the pan and reduce the heat to low. Simmer for 25 minutes. Sprinkle the vinegar over the rice and mix with a fork. Transfer the cooked rice to a parchment paper-lined baking sheet. Allow the rice to cool completely before using.

FRESH VEGETABLE SPRING ROLLS WITH TWO DIPPING SAUCES

Steps:

• Combine all vegetables in a bowl and season with salt and pepper to taste. Lay the spring roll wrappers on a flat surface, pointed edge toward you. Put a 1/8 of the filling in the bottom third of the wrapper, bring the pointed edge over the filling, fold in the sides tightly. Dab the top pointed edge with water and roll tightly. Serve with sauces.
• Combine all ingredients in a small bowl.
• Combine all ingredients in a bowl and whisk until smooth, add cilantro just before serving.

LOW COUNTRY VEGGIE ROLLS

Steps:

• To make the filling for the egg rolls, heat the olive oil over medium heat in a wok or large skillet. Add the collard greens, cabbage, carrots, onion, salt and pepper and saute until wilted and beginning to soften, 4 to 5 minutes. Add the garlic and cook another minute. Turn up the heat to medium-high and add the soy sauce, sesame oil, vinegar and liquid smoke and cook until the liquid is absorbed, 1 to 2 minutes. Turn off the heat, then add the scallions and black-eyed peas. Remove to a bowl and let cool completely.
• Preheat 2 inches canola oil to 350 degrees F in a deep skillet or enameled cast-iron pot. Line a sheet tray with a wire rack.
• Lay an egg roll wrapper on a cutting board, oriented in a diamond shape. Add about an eighth of the mixture (a generous 1/3 cup) horizontally across the wrapper, in a line going from one corner to another. With your finger, spread a little water on the edges of the wrapper to moisten. Fold up the bottom corner over the filling, then fold in the ends and roll up the wrapper, making sure it is sealed. Set aside and repeat with the remaining wrappers and filling.
• Fry the rolls in batches, flipping once, until golden brown, 2 to 3 minutes. Remove to the wire rack to drain.
• Serve warm with the Pepper Jelly Sauce.
• Whisk together the pepper jelly, hot sauce, soy sauce, sesame oil and vinegar in a small bowl and set aside.

VEGETARIAN SAUSAGE ROLLS

Steps:

• Put the mushrooms in a food processor and pulse until they're very finely chopped.
• Put half the olive oil in a large frying pan and add the leeks along with a pinch of salt. Fry gently for 15 mins or until softened and golden brown. Scrape the leeks out of the pan and into a bowl. Heat the remaining oil in the pan and fry the mushrooms for 10 mins over a medium heat. Add the garlic, sage, miso and mustard and fry for another minute, then leave to cool slightly.
• Heat the oven to 200C/180C fan/gas 6. Combine the mushroom mixture with the leeks in a bowl, add the chestnuts, cheese and breadcrumbs. Season lightly to taste (the miso and leeks will add salt, so don't add too much) and work everything together until you have a slightly stodgy mixture.
• Unravel the puff pastry on a floured surface, then roll out so one side measures about 40cm. Push the mushroom mixture down the centre of the pastry. Bring the pastry around the mixture and seal the edges with a fork, then cut into 8 pieces. Lay on a lined baking sheet and brush each one with the beaten egg. Bake in the oven for 25-30 mins until deep, golden brown. Allow to cool a little before eating.

DOUBLE SALMON ROLL

Steps:

• Flake the hot-smoked salmon into a bowl, discarding the skin. Add the horseradish, lemon juice, soft cheese, finely snipped chives and some seasoning and beat well until combined to a rough mousse texture.
• Lay 2 sheets of cling film overlapping on your work surface, then lay the sliced smoked salmon out to make a rectangle about 20 x 50cm. Dollop the hot-smoked salmon mix over and gently spread over evenly. Use the edge of the cling film to roll the long side of the rectangle into itself, then roll up like a Swiss roll. Wrap in the film, twisting the ends like a cracker to secure and hold the shape. Freeze for up to a month.
• Transfer the roll from the freezer to the fridge the day before you want to serve it. While still semi-frozen, cut into thick slices, lay on a tray, then leave to defrost completely in the fridge. Serve with leaves mixed with chives and a little dressing, and some melba toast.
