Inside-Out Sushi

by Ryuta Iizuka

I was born in Uonuma, Niigata, one of the best terroirs of rice fields in Japan, so I grew up eating the best rice in the world every day. Since I'm not a Sushi Chef, I wanted to try some crispy rice, inspired by a traditional Japanese snack called 'Pon Gashi', similar to the cooking method of "Riz Soufflé" in France.

RECIPE DEVELOPMENT

1 — TUNA MIXTURE

Put the tuna confit, milk and cream cheese in a food processor and strain with a net until you achieve a paste. Add curry powder, salt and 70% whipped fresh cream to make it into a mousse.

 

2 — PREPARING THE STICKY RICE

Wash the sticky rice and let it sink in water for 1 hour, then cook it. Add a bit of water and salt and stir once cooked to make it stickier. Spread on cooking paper to let it dry.

 

3 — FRYING THE STICKY RICE

Fry the sticky rice once dried in 190°C (374°F) vegetable oil.

 

SERVING INSTRUCTIONS

Put the tuna mousse on a piece of crispy fried sticky rice. Sprinkle black pepper and coffee powder. Place the red onion pickles and wasabi flower on top.

The recipe has a cripsy texture. While the tuna mousse pairs very well with the Krug Grande Cuvée 170ème Édition, the addition of coffee power and black pepper enhances the sensorial experience.
