there’s nothing you can’t deep fry
The Clique Clack Food blog highlighted a version of the deep-fried tempura roll, and also mentions… oatmeal sushi. Um. yea.
So back to deep frying. It’s called a ‘crazy maki’ and it looks like the person stuck most of the common ingredients you’d find in a roll in it – salmon, roe, egg, cream cheese, crab sticks, cucumber and the kitchen sink.
It made me crave a good caterpillar roll, strangely enough. Oh how I wish I’d blogged about my attempt at the tempura roll. Sadly, no photos… so you’ll just have to take my word that it turned out real pretty. It had unagi, crab stick, cream cheese and avocado.
The tempura batter was modified from something found online – 3 parts cornstarch, 1 part flour and really cold beer with salt, pepper and garlic powder to taste. A poor imitation of Bloomington’s Domo Sushi’s tempura roll seen here.
Side fact: the crazy maki creator is a Malaysian living in Long Island.
