Yes, you read it correctly: Salmon Balls. The correct sushi term for these delicious balls is floating out there on the web somewhere, but I don't really feel like looking for it. Nope, calling them Salmon Balls is good enough for me. As you can tell, Sushi Fridays is in full swing and I made another batch of rolls today. But to add something different I decided to make these easy, pinkish balls. No recipe is really needed. Basically, place a square of Reynolds wrap in your hand, about 5 inches by 5 inches. Place a few slices of your favorite smoked salmon in the middle. Dollop a little wasabi on then place a ball of sushi rice on top. Pull the corners of the Reynolds wrap up and start twisting like a mad man. Eventually, you will have Salmon Balls. They are crazy easy and really tasty!
All hail the sushi king! I can't wait to get your balls in my mouth.
ReplyDeleteHa..just make another batch yesterday.

[ Pete places a tray of Balls on the control board ]
Teri Rialto: Mmm.. wow.. you have some beautiful Balls..
Margeret Jo McCullen: They're bigger than I expected.
Pete Schweddy: A lot of people tell me that.
Margeret Jo McCullen: Look at that, Teri - the way they glisten.
Pete Schweddy: That's because make sure that each one of my Balls gets plenty of oil.
Margeret Jo McCullen: I can't help but, notice, Pete - your Balls are a little misshapen.
Pete Schweddy: That's because I rested them on a hot stove too long.
Teri Rialto: Can I touch your Balls.
Pete Schweddy: Go ahead. But be careful, they're very delicate.
Margeret Jo McCullen: Wow. I can't wait to get my mouth around his Balls.
Teri Rialto: [ sniffing ] Ooh.. I like the way your Balls smell..
Pete Schweddy: Do whatever you want to, ladies. My Balls are here for your pleasure.
Margeret Jo McCullen: [ chewing ] Wow, Pete.. I have to say - your Balls are so tender..
Pete Schweddy: Well, there's no beating my Balls. They're made from a secret Schweddy Family recipe. No one can resist my Schweddy Balls.
Margeret Jo McCullen: Wow.. Schweddy Balls. Nothing like a Schweddy Ball.
Teri Rialto: Good Balls.
Margeret Jo McCullen: Mmm.. good times.
Teri Rialto: Good times.. Mmm.. our producer is telling us it's time to wrap it up.
