Tempura Lobster And Enoki Miso Salad Roll Recipes

Steps:

• Make tempura batter by whisking the rice flour with the soda water until a pancake batter consistency is achieved. Wrap each oyster with shiso leaf and skewer. Dip each one in the batter and deep fry at 400 degrees until golden brown. Season with salt and place on a platter lined with lettuce leaves. Dot each with umeboshi.

Steps:

• Place rice noodles in a large pot of boiling water, stir. Add shrimp. Cook until noodles are al dente and shrimp is just cooked, about 1 1/2 to 2 minutes. Lift out the shrimp, set aside to cool. Drain and rinse noodles.
• When shrimp is cool enough to handle, cut into small pieces. Place in a non-reactive salad bowl with noodles, carrots, cabbage, basil and cilantro. Toss to combine.
• To prepare rice paper wrappers: Fill a large pan or bowl with hot tap water. Dip 1 rice paper wrapper into water, lift out, and drain briefly. Set on a flat surface.
• To assemble salad rolls: Place 1/2 cup filling in the center of each wrapper. To roll salad rolls, think diapering a baby the old fashioned way - with cloth diapers minus the diaper pins! Pressing down on filling, fold the bottom of each wrapper over filling, then fold in sides; roll tightly. Press edges to seal; if rice paper is too dry to form a proper seal, moisten unsealed edges with a little water. Set rolls on a platter and cover with a damp towel.
• To serve, cut rolls crosswise in 1/2; stand pieces upright. Dip in Ginger Lime Dipping Sauce.
• Whisk together all ingredients in small non-reactive bowl. Taste and adjust seasonings.
