What is Spicy Tuna Roll?

What does Spicy Tuna Roll Taste Like?

Umami

Umami is one of five main tastes. It is savory with a depth of flavor. Umami is a taste in many foods, including meat, seafood, beans, and nuts. It is both naturally occurring and created through the specific use of ingredients to create a satisfying taste. Umami is characteristic of proteins and savory dishes.

Spicy

Spicy is a flavor that brings heat and fire to food by creating a burning sensation in the mouth or sinuses. Spicy flavors come from hot peppers, horseradish, and wasabi. Spicy adds a kick and sometimes complexity to a dish and releases endorphins, creating a mildly addictive quality.

Ingredients

sushi rice

Sushi rice is made using short-grain rice. Generally white rice is used, and sometimes brown rice is used. The rice is cooked and then mixed with rice vinegar, sugar and oil. It is fanned to cool it and then used in the making of sushi and similar food items. The rice will either be white or tan, depending on the type used. The texture is sticky, but each rice grain remains individual while clumping together. The flavor is mild and gently sweet and with a subtle hint of tanginess.

spicy tuna

Spicy tuna refers to a chopped fish filling that is often used in sushi and poke bowls. The red tuna is chopped finely and mixed with spicy ingredients such as sriracha hot sauce, chili oil and shichimi togarashi (Japanese spice mix). Mayonnaise is an important ingredient to hold the fish together and add a creamy and mild taste to the spicy fish. Spicy tuna is served cold.

tenkasu

Tenkasu are tiny bits of crunchy fried wheat flour dough. They are light, cream colored, crunchy and look somewhat like Rice Krispies. They are essentially tempura batter crumbs and made specifically to create a crunchy texture in certain foods, including sushi. The flavor is mild and a bit salty and umami.

sesame seeds

Sesame seeds are the tiny oblong seeds from the flowering sesame plant. They are between 3 to 4 mm long and 2 mm in width. They are generally off white or black, with some that are a medium shade of brown. The flavor of the sesame seed is nutty and earthy. When roasted, these tastes come through strongly and provide a savory garnish to many East Asian dishes. Sesame seeds are also found in Western cuisine.

nori seaweed

Nori seaweed is a type of ocean vegetable and is sold in thin, easy to tear sheets. These sheets are dark green, shiny and translucent when held up to the light. The flavor is vegetal and ocean-like with a hint of salt. Toasted nori has a rounder flavor. Nori is used in the making of sushi and is also commonly sold as a snack in smaller sheets that may be flavored with sesame, soy or some kind of seasoning.
