Rolls, as you know, originally a dish from the Pan-Asian culinary traditions, formed in the Asia-Pacific region. However, now pan-Asian dishes are popular all over the world, so it is not surprising that in different countries the idea of preparing a dish is rethought and gets a new embodiment using traditional products for the region.
Initially, Asian rolls are rolls made from fish with rice and vegetables, wrapped in special sheets of edible algae (nori). In Japan, Korea, Vietnam, China, dairy products usually do not eat, but we will tell you how, using the basic idea of rolls, you can prepare them from cottage cheese.
We offer several options for cooking:
- unsweetened rolls cooked using traditional nori seaweed sheets or rice paper;
- unsweetened rolls using pita bread or thin pancakes;
- unsweetened rolls of cottage cheese with gelatin (without shell);
- dessert rolls.
In any case, we will need a special tsinovochka for rolling rolls.
Rolls of cottage cheese with tuna or other fish
Ingredients:
- natural curd, better than medium fat;
- sheets of nori, rice paper or pita bread, maybe pancakes;
- fish fillet - tuna, lightly marinated in pieces in natural fruit vinegar or lemon juice or canned (also suitable salmon, trout);
- fresh cucumber;
- dill;
- garlic;
- soy sauce;
- sesame seed.
Preparation
We spread a sheet of nori or rice paper on a mat. From above distribute an equal layer of cottage cheese , it is better to pre-wipe through a sieve and season with chopped garlic (and spices). You can also include in the curd mass chopped greens, spinach mass, mashed avocado pulp or other mashed vegetables and spices.
From above lay a thin strip of fish, cucumber and twigs of greens. Sprinkle with soy sauce and sprinkle with sesame seeds. Roll the roll, then unfold the mat, carefully remove the roll and put it on the dish. We also make the rest rolls, spread them side by side (but not one on top of the other), then put the dish in the fridge for 2 hours. We cut the ready rolls (the length of the step is 2-2.5 cm) and shift to the serving dish.
If the lavash or pancake substrate, you can sprinkle the edges with grated hard cheese before basting and lightly bake in the oven, when the cheese cools, it will glue the roll well, it will be convenient to cut it.
You can prepare rolls from cottage cheese without a substrate. In this variant it is necessary to mix cottage cheese with a milky gelatin mixture. You can dissolve gelatin in vegetable fresh juice (pumpkin, for example, or cucumber). Instead of a substrate, we use food film or foil. We roll the roll with a mat and place it in the refrigerator until it hardens, after which we cut it.
To unsweetened rolls you can serve alcoholic beverages (light wine, vodka, bitter and berry tinctures).
Dessert rolls of cottage cheese with fruits especially like children, they are good for breakfast, lunch and midday tea.
Of course, dessert rolls can not be prepared with nori sheets, but only using a rice paper or pita bread substrate, or in general, without a substrate (with gelatin, see above). Dried fruits first steamed in boiling water and washed. You can enter into the curd mass of fruit syrup (from jam) or honey, freshly scraped fresh fruits, or crushed dried fruits. If honey was used, do not expose the rolls to heating (in this case poisonous substances form in honey).
Dessert rolls are best served with tea, coffee , hot chocolate, natural juices, compotes and other similar drinks.
