Transcripts

Hello everyone, today we will check how many rolls we can make from 1 large Norwegian salmon

Specifically, our specimen weighs 6.6 kilograms

we use its meat to the maximum

and find out how much cheaper homemade rolls are than delivery ones

Let's start with cutting the salmon

First of all, we cut off the head under the fin, there is no meat in it

Now we carefully cut through the ribs, pressing the knife against the ridge, using it as a guide

and so we cut it all the way to the tail

done

Now we carefully cut off the ridge from the second half of the fish

We don’t throw it away yet

and so from the first half of the fish you need to carefully remove the ribs, losing as little precious meat as possible

Now the fat is on the belly, we cut it off by weight for better control, because this part of the fish is the thinnest

There is also a layer of fat left on the back

we remove it

Next, we’ll clean up the remnants of the ridge so that they don’t remain in the rolls later.

One of the most important moments is to get the last bones out of the fish; it is most convenient to do this with pliers like these

first fillet is ready

the second fillet must be processed in the same way

The salmon made 2 perfect fillets

Now we need to cut them into identical, fairly wide pieces

The salmon came out to 8 perfect pieces, imperfect leftovers and a backbone

pull out the required amount of food wrap

cut off

and packing every perfect piece of salmon

We wrap each piece of fish in a food wrap.

done

stack them on top of each other

and put it in the freezer

For further manipulations, the fish must freeze slightly

let's move on to the remainder

The first step is to remove the skin

We cut the clean fillet into strips, such fish will already go inside the rolls

We need to remove the remaining meat from the ridge using a tablespoon, this is the easiest way

It turned out to be a decent handful of meat

we cut up the salmon and squeezed as much meat out of it as possible

let's move on to rice

open

We will cook in a large saucepan

so we will pour in 6 kilograms of round grain rice

And we go to the sink

it needs to be washed thoroughly

we will rid it of rice dust, and the rice will not be like porridge

and so drain the muddy white water

and continue rinsing 3 more times

Now pour 6.6 liters of water into clean rice

well, we put the pan on the stove

We will cook the rice covered at maximum power

When the water boils, reduce the heat to 5

and set the timer for 15 minutes

After this time, you can turn off the stove

lift the lid

cover with a towel

and return the lid

While the rice is infusing, let's make a dressing for it

and for this we need 660 ml of 9 percent vinegar

540 grams of sugar

and 72 grams of salt

All these components need to be mixed so that the sugar and salt are completely dissolved

rice dressing is ready

The rice was also steamed properly

pour all the dressing into it

and mix well so that every grain of rice is tasty

For ease of work, pour all the rice into a bowl

Finally the rice is ready, it has the right sticky texture, just what you need for rolls

the next stage is cream cheese

we have 6.9 kg

open the buckets

To make it convenient to work with, you need to transfer all the cheese into cooking bags

we managed to fill 5 bags

Next you will need a lot of smooth cucumbers, 7 kilograms here

they need to be cut

First cut into slices and then into sticks

and transfer to a gastronorm container

continue cutting

cucumbers are also ready for work

we return to the fish, during this time it has already managed to freeze

we can get it from the food wrap

for ease of cutting, now we need a Japanese knife

use it to carefully remove the skin and scales

This is much easier to do on frozen fish than on fresh fish

We also need to cut off the dark fat, we don’t need it in rolls

turn over the piece

and start cutting the fish for the Philadelphia roll

Place the finished pieces on another board

this way we need to cut the remaining 7 pieces of fish

As a result, we get this beautiful sliced salmon

the rice is ready

cucumbers are ready

cream cheese

fish

All that was left were the nori leaves

take them out of the package

We will also prepare a place where we will lay out the finished rolls! To do this, we will glue a special wrap onto the table

cut off

and now it can be opened to cover the entire table

put on gloves

and before preparing the rolls, all that remains is to prepare the mat

To do this, take a piece of salmon and grease the mat with it to form a layer of fat

for Philadelphia rolls we need half a sheet of nori! so let's cut some of the sheets in the middle

put it on the mat

next we take rice

and spread over a sheet of nori

there should be an empty centimeter of nori, and 2 and a half centimeters of bulging rice

turn it over

Next, squeeze out 2 strips of cream cheese

lay out the cucumbers

and roll it up

done

now I need some salmon slices

place them tightly on top of the roll so that the fish covers all the rice

and press with a mat

transfer the roll to the table

and continue to prepare Philadelphia rolls

it took 4 hours. and there were 39 rolls

but we still have leftover fish and we use it inside the rolls

here we need a whole sheet of nori

Let's wet our hands in water, and now we can lay out the rice

Next, lay out the salmon strips

a strip of cream cheese on the side

cucumber and roll it up

roll is ready

put it on the table

and continue until the salmon is finished

These rolls contain absolutely all the meat from 1 salmon

By the way, there were 16 black rolls. and only 55 pieces

Now comes the cutting stage

Wet the knife in water

and cut into 8 pieces

We will wipe the knife between each roll

and we will place the sliced rolls in containers

3 rolls are placed in 1 container

cover with a lid and you're done

cut the black roll in the same way

The rolls turned out really large and beautiful when cut

We continue to pack

finally all the rolls are packaged and no longer look like homemade ones

If you count each sliced piece as a roll, then one salmon makes 440 rolls

It took us almost a day to prepare them

I have never prepared as many rolls as in this video at one time

It turns out that the profession of a sushi chef is very labor-intensive

Now let’s move on to the question of how much all these rolls cost

To make it objective, I subtracted all the remaining products from the price

and it turned out exactly 200 dollars

but what’s funny is that the same number of delivery rolls would cost $258, which means there’s no point in cooking them at home

let's taste our Philadelphia

delicious, very similar to delivery rolls

We plan to take all these rolls to children in need. so we'll need a lot more ginger

transfer it to a container

and close

Wasabi is also necessary

open

it is in powder form

pour the powder into a bowl

add water

and mix it

should get thick wasabi

and to make it beautiful we transfer it into a cooking bag

and squeeze it into a container in the form of a pattern like this

ready

we will also need soy sauce

containers for it

and a lot of sticks

We put everything in the car

and we go to the mother and child home

we laid everything out beautifully there

poured soy sauce

and called the children they were very surprised!

Many of these children will be eating rolls for the first time in their lives

All the children really liked our rolls!
