Starbucks 'Trenta': How The New Size Compares To Your Stomach
Famous Death Row Last Meals
I'm not shy about my opinions on sushi rolls. I don't hate rolls. I just happen to have a personal preference for sashimi and some nigiri sushi, that's all. The fact that most rolls are overly-pumped with ridiculous ingredients, some of which have no place at all in sushi (steak and cream cheese?!?), are accessorized with strangely sweet, creamy, unidentifiable sauces, and are accordingly named WWF things like "Godzilla" and "Monster Crunch" has nothing to do with it at all. Really.
However, there are a few rolls that I really do like. While I do understand that many people simply adore the California roll, especially ones that are made with real kani, I am not a huge fan. However, I love the spicy tuna roll. The thing about spicy tuna is that it isn't even "spiced" with something like wasabi or togarashi. Most sushi bars I've seen use the little green tipped bottle of chili sauce - sriracha. When I see that, I ask the chef to add a little more to the tuna bits to make it extra spicy.
Once, I had a spicy tuna roll that had a little bit ofmayo mixed in with the tuna and spice. I didn't like that one too much.

I make my own spicy sauce (for tuna, yellowtail, salmon, ANYTHING!) and always use Sriracha along with kewpie (thick Japanese mayo), hot chili oil, ground togarashi and just a tiny hint of lemon zest (my secret ingredient). I pre-make the sauce and store it in a squeeze bottle in the fridge. Then when it comes time to make the suhsi, I mix the sauce with the sliced strips and/or chopped fish in a small bowl just prior to assembling a roll (hand roll preferred). I also sometimes mix in masago and/or serve the hand roll with a nice mound of masago on top. Yum!
