How to cook Roll with cheese

Step 1

Cook the rice for the creamy rolls. Pour the washed rice into a saucepan and add water. Put it on high heat. Wait until it boils. Reduce the heat to low and continue cooking for another 15 minutes. Turn off the stove, cover the rice with a lid and let it sit for about 10 minutes.

Step 2

While the rice is soaking, prepare a dressing from rice vinegar, salt and sugar. Warm the vinegar slightly, dissolve the salt and sugar in it. Pour the dressing into the rice and stir.

Step 3

Roll up the rolls. Cover a special bamboo mat with cling film. Put a sheet of nori on top, glossy side down. Spread the rice over the surface with wet hands. Make a strip of cream cheese 2 cm from the edge of the nori. Roll up the rolls tightly. Cut into portions with a sharp knife dipped in water.

Can I substitute white rice with brown rice for this recipe?

Store them in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 2 days. For best freshness, consume within 24 hours.

Can I make these rolls vegan?

Absolutely! Substitute cream cheese with a plant-based alternative and ensure the nori and rice vinegar are vegan-friendly.

How do I prevent the rice from sticking to my hands when spreading it?

Keep a bowl of water nearby to frequently wet your hands while handling the rice, ensuring an even spread without sticking.

What can I serve with these cheese rolls?

Pair them with soy sauce, pickled ginger, or a spicy mayo dip. They also go well with a side of miso soup or a fresh salad.

Can I freeze these cheese rolls for later?

Freezing is not recommended as the texture of the rice and cream cheese may change, making them less enjoyable upon thawing.

How can I adjust the recipe for fewer or more servings?

Simply halve or double the ingredients proportionally. Adjust the nori sheets and filling amounts to match your desired number of rolls.
