I’ve never made japanese mayo, but the best advice i can give to get a good emulsion is you really have to add the oil one drop at a time, giving your mix a good chance to incorporate the oil as it comes in, at least until you’ve incorporated half of the total oil. I’ve used an eyedropper before for this, but I bet you could use a turkey baster or a kid’s sippy cup, repurposed.

japanese mayo can be really expensive – as an alternative try Helmans mayo it holds up and does not breakdown in the sauces

My guess is they deep fry it in a tempura batter and the sauce, if dark brown is an eel sauce or like creamy red is a simple spicy sauce.

Most likely they do broil or bake the roll (or perhaps even fry it) to get a crispy crust. Depending on how it turns out (more crispy or more flaky?), it is probably either coated with tempura batter or panko flakes. The sauce is probably eel sauce, which is used on quite a bit of sushi.

I’ve been trying to find a special recipe. At a local sushi restaurant, I forget the ingredients, but what I really want to know is how do they get the crust? Let me explain. I believe that the filling is tuna (or crab), cream cheese and avacado. After they roll it, I *think* they dip it in tempura and then broil it to have a crispy crust. Then they top it with a tasty sauce that I would also love to make. Has anyone heard of this?

Yvo – Oh no!!! Sorry… I have no idea what happened! I think Son might have been doing something with Wordpress, so it might have screwed it up or something.

Lara – That sounds like something that would be useful for me! I think Japanese mayo uses different ingredients. For example, the recipe that I killed used miso as an ingredient. But… since I couldn’t make it, I can’t tell you if it was good or not. Definitely will post something if I ever do get it to work!
