Dynamite roll

Dynamite roll is a type of sushi roll that is popular in many Japanese restaurants, particularly in Western countries. It is known for its bold flavors and spicy kick, which is where it gets its name from.

Ingredients

The main ingredients in a dynamite roll typically include prawn tempura, avocado, cucumber, and a spicy mayonnaise sauce. Some variations may also include other ingredients such as crab meat, radish sprouts, and masago (capelin roe).

Preparation

To prepare a dynamite roll, the prawn tempura is first prepared by dipping prawns in a tempura batter and deep frying them until they are crispy. The sushi rice is then spread on a sheet of nori (seaweed), and the prawn tempura, avocado, and cucumber are placed on top. The roll is then rolled up using a bamboo sushi mat, and the spicy mayonnaise sauce is drizzled on top. Finally, the roll is cut into bite-sized pieces and served.

Variations

There are many variations of the dynamite roll, with different restaurants adding their own unique twists. Some may add additional ingredients like eel, tuna, or salmon, while others may use different types of sauces or seasonings. There are also vegetarian versions of the dynamite roll, which substitute the prawn tempura with tempura vegetables.

Popularity

The dynamite roll is particularly popular in Western countries, where it is often found on the menu at Japanese restaurants. Its bold, spicy flavors make it a favorite among those who enjoy spicy food. Despite its popularity in the West, the dynamite roll is not traditionally found in Japan, as it is a Western-style sushi roll.
