  • In a bowl, whisk the flour, cornstarch, baking powder, salt, and egg until smooth.

  • Remove the sheet pans with rice from the refrigerator. Place the first sheet of nori and rice onto a cutting board.
  • Mentally divide the rice sheet into fourths. On one fourth, place a layer of cucumber, a layer of avocado, and top with the crab.
  • On another fourth, place the sliced avocado and top with the shrimp tempura.
  • On another fourth, spread a layer of the cream cheese, then top with smoked salmon and a layer of avocado.
  • On the last fourth add a layer of cucumber and avocado.

CLASSIC CUBAN MIDNIGHT (MEDIANOCHE) SANDWICH



Classic Cuban Midnight (Medianoche) Sandwich image

This is one of the more famous sandwiches straight out of the island of Cuba. This recipe came from my uncle who used to work at a restaurant in Pinar del Rio, Cuba and now works at a Cuban cafeteria here in Miami. This sandwich is best served with fried plantain chips and a cold mamey milkshake!

Time 23m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 8

4 sweet bread rolls
½ cup mayonnaise
¼ cup prepared mustard
1 pound thinly sliced cooked ham
1 pound thinly sliced fully cooked pork
1 pound sliced Swiss cheese
1 cup dill pickle slices
2 tablespoons butter, melted

Steps:

  • Split the sandwich rolls in half, and spread mustard and mayonnaise liberally onto the cut sides. On each sandwich, place and equal amount of Swiss cheese, ham and pork in exactly that order. Place a few pickles onto each one, and put the top of the roll onto the sandwich. Brush the tops with melted butter.
  • Press each sandwich in a sandwich press heated to medium-high heat. If a sandwich press is not available, use a large skillet over medium-high heat, and press the sandwiches down using a sturdy plate or skillet. Some indoor grills may be good for this also. Cook for 5 to 8 minutes, keeping sandwiches pressed. If using a skillet, you may want to flip them once for even browning. Slice diagonally and serve hot.

  • Don't be afraid to experiment: There are endless possibilities for sushi sandwich fillings, so feel free to get creative and try new things.
  • Make sure your rice is cooked perfectly: The rice is the foundation of a sushi sandwich, so it's important to cook it according to the package directions and let it cool completely before assembling the sandwich.
