Spicy Tempura Roll

I just love how the red pepper in the mayonnaise gives a little kick to the taste of the sushi. There really isn’t anything to not like about this, if you like spicy tastes. If you don’t, then just adjust the amount of red pepper powder to however you like it.

Originally, our plan was to make Japanese mayonnaise from scratch, then use it in this and also write a separate post about it. Gah. I don’t know if we used a bad recipe, or if we just didn’t do it right, but man! It didn’t work at all. The whole emulsify thing doesn’t work when you are using an egg beater to try to whip it up. We don’t have an electric mixer at my apartment (which is where I was doing it), so I couldn’t try that. Poo. Anyways, I’ll try again sometime when I can use an electric mixer. Anyone have any tips for making mayonnaise? 😀
