The turn has come to continue acquaintance with the mysterious cuisine of the East and learn how to cook hot rolls. After all, this satisfying dish is gaining more and more popularity among sushi lovers.

Classic recipe


Preparing hot rolls at home is not difficult - they are practically no different from the already cold rolls. So, you will need:
● 200 g of slightly salted fish;
● 1 tbsp. rice;
● 1 tbsp. water;
● 150 g of soft cheese;
● nori sheets;
● sweet pepper pod;
● 1 tsp Sahara;
● ½ tsp salts;
● 1 tbsp. l vinegar (rice);
● egg;
● a couple of spoons of vegetable oil;
● 100 g breading.

Hot rolls are prepared in this way:

1. Wash rice several times under running water, for example, in a sieve. Water should eventually drain clear.
2. We put the cereals to boil, and as it boils, note for 5 minutes, mix, add sugar, salt and vinegar and turn off the heat. Stir everything well and leave the rice under the lid to steam. It is recommended to cover the pan with towels for the best effect.
3. Fillet and washed pepper should be cut into thin strips, approximately 5 mm thick. If there are bones in the fillet, remove them.
4. We take a mat for folding rolls and put on it a sheet of nori with a shiny surface down.
5. By this time, while all the ingredients are being cooked, the rice should be steamed well.Mix it with a wooden spoon or spatula very carefully, then spread it with an even layer on a nori, leaving 2 cm of uncovered on one side. Use water or vinegar to wet this edge.
6. On the rice we put along the pieces of fish and vegetables and tightly wrap the nori so that the wetted edge “seals” the roll.
7. Dip the whole billet into a beaten egg, and then roll in breadcrumbs.
8. Fry the roll in oil until crisp on all sides. Cut into pieces and put them on a dish.

On a note. Rice vinegar may not always be at hand. It may well be replaced by apple.

2. Then we collect the rolls, wrapping freshly prepared products and soft cheese in nori and rice.
3. The process of completing the preparation is similar to the previous recipes - rolls are dipped in a beaten egg, rolled in a breading and then fried.
4. At the end of all the manipulations, we cook the home-cooked rolls in small pieces and place them like hemp on a baking sheet covered with paper.
5. Hard cheese cut into small cubes and lay them on top of each roll.
6. Bake in the oven so that the cheese is browned. Once this happens, the dish can be served.

Hot Caesar Roll Recipe

● 1 tbsp. l fat mayonnaise;
● 2 tsp caviar of capelin;
● 60 g smoked chicken breast;
● 1 sheet of iceberg lettuce;
● 20 g of tomatoes;
● 1 sheet of nori;
● 130 g of boiled rice;
● 20 g of soft cream cheese;
● 20 g crackers.

Cooking hot rolls:

1. For baking, you need to prepare a sauce of mayonnaise and caviar - do it immediately and leave it aside.
2. Chicken and lettuce finely chopped. From tomato we use only pulp, without seeds and juice. We cut it with cubes.
3. Collect the rolls: put the rice on the nori and leave the free edge. This recipe involves wrapping the filling directly in the nori, so we turn the workpiece with the rice side on the mat, and on the seaweed we put a strip of soft cheese, chicken, salad shavings and tomatoes.
4. Tightly roll the rolls, roll them in breadcrumbs and then chop.
5. Slice down, place the pieces on a baking sheet with baking paper and put a little sauce on each. Bake at 200 degrees for 5 to 7 minutes.

On a note. For convenience, the mat can be tightened with a film.

With salmon and cheese


This option is similar to the recipe with crab sticks, but instead of chopsticks we take 150 g of salted salmon filet. Hard cheese is best chosen from high-quality hard varieties - such a product will first melt, and then acquire a beautiful dense golden crust.
That's the whole “science” of making hot rolls. Absolutely uncomplicated but very exciting! And what’s the result - your loved ones will be delighted!
