Aloha Roll Ingredients

Method

Preparation Directions

  1. 1

    Prepare Sushi Rice

    Rinse the sushi rice in cold water until the water runs clear. Cook the rice according to package instructions. Once cooked, mix rice vinegar, sugar, and salt into the rice while it's still warm. Let it cool.

  2. 2

    Prepare Tempura Shrimp

    Heat oil in a deep pan. Dip the shrimp in tempura batter and fry until golden brown and crispy. Drain on paper towels.

  3. 3

    Prepare Lomi Tomatoes

    Dice the tomatoes and mix with a pinch of salt. Let sit for a few minutes to release juices.

  4. 4

    Assemble the Roll

    Place a nori sheet on a bamboo sushi mat. Spread a thin layer of sushi rice on the nori, leaving a small border. Add a line of cream cheese, tempura shrimp, salmon, and lomi tomatoes. Drizzle Keawe smoked soy sauce over the fillings.

  5. 5

    Roll the Sushi

    Using the bamboo mat, carefully roll the sushi away from you, applying gentle pressure to form a tight roll. Seal the edge with a little water.

  6. 6

    Slice and Serve

    Slice the roll into 6-8 pieces. Sprinkle sesame seeds on top and serve with extra Keawe smoked soy sauce on the side.
