What is Redneck Sushi?
In a delightful culinary twist, redneck sushi combines the tender, smoky goodness of barbecue with the elegance of sushi. This delicious concoction features smoky meats and fresh vegetables wrapped in rice and seaweed, creating a distinctive and unforgettable flavor profile that satisfies both the sushi lover and the barbecue devotee.
Ingredients
To make your own redneck sushi at home, youll need:
- 2 cups sushi rice (you can use a Rice Cooker for best results)
- 1/4 cup rice vinegar
- 2 tablespoons sugar
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 pound cooked, smoked brisket or pulled pork
- 1 cucumber, julienned
- 1 avocado, sliced
- 4-6 nori sheets
- BBQ sauce
- Mayonnaise
Preparation
Step 1: Cooking the Sushi Rice
Start by rinsing the sushi rice in a Strainer under cold water until the water runs clear. Transfer the rinsed rice to a Rice Cooker and add water according to the rice cookers instructions. Cook the rice until tender. Once the rice is cooked, transfer it to a bowl and let it cool slightly. In a small bowl, combine the rice vinegar, sugar, and salt. Pour this mixture over the rice and gently fold to incorporate.
Step 2: Preparing the Fillings
While the rice is cooling, prepare your fillings. Cut the cooked brisket or pulled pork into thin strips. Slice the cucumber into julienne strips and the avocado into thin slices. This is a perfect time to ensure your sushi-making station is ready with a clean Cutting Board and your trusty Sushi Knife.
Step 3: Assembling the Sushi Rolls
Place a sheet of nori on a bamboo mat from your Sushi Making Kit. Spread an even layer of sushi rice on the nori, leaving a small border at the top. Arrange a few strips of brisket or pulled pork, cucumber, and avocado in the center of the rice. Drizzle with a bit of BBQ sauce and mayonnaise for added flavor.
Step 4: Rolling the Sushi
Once your fillings are in place, use the bamboo mat to roll the sushi tightly, applying gentle pressure to ensure a firm roll. Dip your Sushi Knife in water and use it to slice the roll into bite-sized pieces. Arrange your redneck sushi on a serving platter and enjoy this fusion feast.
Tips and Tricks
Experimenting with different barbecue meats and sauces can make your redneck sushi experience even more enjoyable. Try using smoked sausage or chicken for a different yet equally delicious variation of this recipe.
