Spicy Tuna Roll with Ginger-Soy Dipping Sauce image

Provided by Anne Burrell

Categories     main-dish

Time 50m

Yield 2 rolls

Number Of Ingredients 15

1/4 cup soy sauce
1/4 cup rice wine vinegar
1 teaspoon chile garlic sauce, such as sambal oelek
2 medium cloves garlic, finely grated
2 scallions, thinly sliced on the bias
1-inch ginger knob, peeled and finely grated
1 small sushi-grade tuna steak (about 6 ounces), small dice
2 tablespoons mayonnaise, preferably Kewpie brand
1 tablespoon chile garlic sauce, such as sambal oelek
Splash rice wine vinegar
2 sheets nori
1 cup cooked sushi rice, warm
Wasabi paste, for spreading and serving
1/2 English cucumber, peeled, seeded and cut into long strips
1/2 avocado, thinly sliced

Steps:

  • For the ginger-soy dipping sauce: Combine the soy sauce, vinegar, chile garlic sauce, garlic, scallions and ginger in a small bowl. Stir well to combine and set aside.
  • For the spicy tuna: Mix the tuna with the mayo and chile garlic sauce in a medium bowl. Lightly toss to coat and set aside.
  • For the sushi roll: Prepare a bamboo sushi rolling mat by wrapping it completely in a tight layer of plastic wrap. Additionally, fill a small bowl with water and the rice wine vinegar and set aside.
  • Fold a sheet of nori about an inch up and remove the bottom piece. Briefly toast over an open flame until pliable, about 10 seconds.
  • Put the toasted nori sheet shiny-side down on the wrapped bamboo mat. Gently press and spread some of the rice on the nori sheet, leaving about 1 inch exposed on top. Dip your fingers in the water/vinegar bowl if the rice is sticking to your hands.
  • Starting about 1/2 inch up from the bottom of the nori, spread a very small amount of wasabi paste along the length of the sheet. Spoon an even layer of the spicy tuna over the wasabi and place some of the cucumber strips on the sides of the spicy tuna. Add 3 to 4 pieces avocado in a single layer. Roll the nori up over the fillings and tuck under to enclose entirely. Gently press the bamboo mat and continue rolling to tighten. Remove the bamboo mat and trim the ends of the roll.
  • With a clean knife, cut the sushi roll in half. Line up the halves and cut through both rolls to make 6 even pieces. Repeat this process with the remaining ingredients to make the second roll. Serve the rolls with a dollop of wasabi paste and small bowls of the dipping sauce.

Provided by Chef Mo

Time 1h5m

Yield 2

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 (16 ounce) package extra firm tofu
2 tablespoons sesame oil
2 tablespoons cornstarch
1 ½ teaspoons ground dried chipotle pepper
½ cup apricot preserves
2 tablespoons vegetable broth
1 tablespoon ginger paste
1 clove garlic, chopped
⅛ teaspoon crushed red pepper

Steps:

  • Slice tofu into thirds lengthwise so you have 3 even slabs. Stack the slabs on top of each other and slice through them lengthwise to make 3 even columns, then slice across to make 5 even rows.
  • Lay tofu evenly on a plate lined with a couple of sheets of paper towels. Layer more paper towel on top of the tofu and place another plate on top of the stack. Press out as much water as possible and let sit for at least 30 minutes.
  • Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  • Transfer pressed tofu to a mixing bowl and drizzle with sesame oil. Lightly toss to combine. Sprinkle with cornstarch and ground chipotle chile pepper. Toss tofu until it is evenly coated with cornstarch and arrange in one layer on the prepared baking sheet.
  • Bake tofu in the preheated oven for 10 minutes. Flip and continue baking until tofu is crisp, about 10 minutes more. Transfer tofu to a wire rack using a spatula; cool.
  • While tofu bakes, combine apricot preserves, vegetable broth, ginger paste, garlic, and red pepper in a small saucepan over low heat. Heat and stir sauce until warmed and well combined, about 5 minutes. Remove from heat. Serve tofu with warm dipping sauce.
