Dynamite Rice – Dynamite Sushi Roll Inspired Gratin – Food Wishes
It’s always exciting to get a food request for something I’ve never heard of before and as I type the name of the recipe into the search box I feel a little rush of what I call culinary adrenaline as I wait for the results to fill the screen. It usually only takes a few seconds to see if the request turns into a video but sometimes I don’t even have to wait that long. When I typed the words “dynamite rice” I knew this was something I would love and almost certainly film. I was right.
I assumed it would be some sort of spicy rice but I hadn’t made the obvious connection to the very popular dynamite sushi roll that inspired the recipe. I’m not sure who came up with the name but since Roy Choi is the chef who popularized it I’ll give him credit until I’m informed otherwise. He actually uses uni and caviar on his which the last time I checked wasn’t in a dynamite roll but as awesome as that sounds I think this would work incredibly well with shrimp and scallops.
The technique couldn’t be simpler as we top cooked rice sushi-style or otherwise with small chunks of seafood in a spicy mayonnaise. This works with any type of rice and any type of seafood so as much as I love this dish as pictured I encourage experimentation. No matter what you end up using I really hope you give this a try soon. It really is “dynamite!”
