Cone Sushi Recipe Hawaiian Style

DELICIOUS CONE SUSHI

Steps:

• 1. Wash the rice with running water for 1-2 minutes until there is no more starch coming out of it. After you are done washing, put the rice in a rice cooker or pot, add a little bit more water than rice (the ratio is about 1.15:1 in favor of the water). Don't put too much water, or you'll get mush instead of rice. (I use a rice cooker, it makes cooking rice a snap.) Cook the rice.
• 2. Mix all dressing ingredients in a bowl and stir until dissolved well and mixture is clear. Note: Use only rice vinegar! Any other kind of vinegar will taste bad.
• 3. Mince shiitake mushrooms, carrots, and green beans. Put minced ingredients into a small pot and just cover with water. Bring to a boil over high heat, lower heat, and simmer for 12 minutes, then drain well. Note: It will take 1 cup of fresh chopped shiitake mushrooms to get 1/2 cup cooked.
• 4. Combine all ingredients in a large bowl mixing with a rubber spatula or wooden spoon. Taste the rice and add more dressing if needed. (You can always add more but you can't take any out.) Set aside to cool. Serve at room temperature.
• 5. Serve in a waffle cone. It is an appetizer or a tasty hand held treat. This looks like the first cone sushi that I ate but the cone holding the sushi rice was made from processed vegetables.
• 6. Wrap in lettuce leaves and your cone sushi becomes a tasty side salad.
• 7. Wrap in Dried-Seaweeds (Musubi-Nori)

SUSHI CONES - TEMAKI

Steps:

• Cut the smoked salmon into narrow strips.
• Slice green onions lengthwise into 3-4" long strips, or cut chives into 3-4" lengths.
• Slice cucumber into thin 3-4" long pieces.
• Cut nori sheets in half crosswise.
• Hold one piece of nori seaweed in one hand and place 2-3 tablespoons of seasoned rice at one end (the right end if you are holding it in your left hand). Spread the rice over half of the nori sheet.
• Arrange fillings diagonally over the rice from the outside corner (upper right) towards the centre.
• Fold the bottom right corner towards the middle to form a cone. Continue to roll until the cone is complete. Repeat to make 8 cones.
• Serve with soy sauce, pickled ginger and wasabi.

SPAM MUSUBI

Steps:

• Soak uncooked rice for 4 hours; drain and rinse.
• In a saucepan bring 2 cups water to a boil. Add rice and stir. Reduce heat, cover, and simmer for 20 minutes. Stir in rice vinegar, and set aside to cool.
• In a separate bowl, stir together soy sauce, oyster sauce, and sugar until sugar is completely dissolved. Slice luncheon meat lengthwise into 10 slices, or to desired thickness, and marinate in sauce for 5 minutes.
• In a large skillet, heat oil over medium high heat. Cook slices for 2 minutes per side, or until lightly browned. Cut nori sheets in half and lay on a flat work surface. Place a rice press in the center of the sheet, and press rice tightly inside. Top with a slice of luncheon meat, and remove press. Wrap nori around rice mold, sealing edges with a small amount of water. (Rice may also be formed by hand in the shape of the meat slices, 1 inch thick.) Musubi may be served warm or chilled.

SPICY TUNA SUSHI ROLL

Steps:

• Bring the rice, water, and vinegar to a boil in a saucepan over high heat. Reduce heat to medium-low, cover, and simmer until the rice is tender, and the liquid has been absorbed, 20 to 25 minutes. Let stand, covered, for about 10 minutes to absorb any excess water. Set rice aside to cool.
• Lightly mix together the tuna, mayonnaise, chili powder, and wasabi paste in a bowl, breaking the tuna apart but not mashing it into a paste.
• To roll the sushi, cover a bamboo sushi rolling mat with plastic wrap. Lay a sheet of nori, rough side up, on the plastic wrap. With wet fingers, firmly pat a thick, even layer of prepared rice over the nori, covering it completely. Place about 1 tablespoon each of diced cucumber, carrot, and avocado in a line along the bottom edge of the sheet, and spread a line of tuna mixture alongside the vegetables.
• Pick up the edge of the bamboo rolling sheet, fold the bottom edge of the sheet up, enclosing the filling, and tightly roll the sushi into a thick cylinder. Once the sushi is rolled, wrap it in the mat and gently squeeze to compact it tightly. Cut each roll into 6 pieces, and refrigerate until served.
