Nori Meat Floss Rolls Recipe
Ingredients:
- 1 package nori sheets (seaweed sheets)
- 1 cup meat floss (dried shredded pork or beef)
- 1 tablespoon black tea powder
- 1/4 cup boiling water
- 1/4 cup mayonnaise
- 1 teaspoon sesame oil
- 1/2 teaspoon sugar (optional, for added sweetness)
- Salt to taste
- 1 green onion, finely chopped (optional, for garnish)
- Toasted sesame seeds (optional, for garnish)
Instructions:
Prepare the Black Tea Marinade:
- In a small bowl, mix the black tea powder with the boiling water. Allow the tea to steep for 3-4 minutes, then strain and let it cool. This mixture will be used to enhance the flavor of the nori and meat floss.
Prepare the Filling:
- In a bowl, combine the meat floss, mayonnaise, sesame oil, sugar (if using), and salt to taste. Mix well to create a cohesive filling.
Assemble the Rolls:
- Lay out a nori sheet on a clean, dry surface. If the nori sheet is too large, you can trim it to fit your desired roll size.
- Spread a thin layer of the prepared filling mixture evenly across the nori sheet, leaving a small border at the top and bottom.
- Drizzle a small amount of the cooled black tea marinade over the filling to add depth of flavor.
- Starting from one end, tightly roll the nori sheet with the filling, using a sushi mat or rolling pin to press and secure the roll. Make sure to roll it tightly to avoid air pockets.
Prepare the Garnish:
- If desired, you can garnish the rolls with finely chopped green onions and toasted sesame seeds for added texture and flavor.
Serve:
- Use a sharp knife to cut the nori meat floss rolls into bite-sized pieces. Wipe the knife clean between cuts to ensure clean edges.
- Enjoy your Nori Meat Floss Rolls, a delightful combination of crispy nori, savory meat floss, and a hint of black tea flavor. These rolls are perfect as an appetizer, snack, or part of a bento box lunch. The unique blend of flavors and textures makes them a crowd-pleaser for gatherings and parties.
