Ingredients:

Fruit-Filled Maki Rolls

 

For the Rice:

  • 3 cups of water.
  • 1 cup of Japanese rice.
  • ¼ cup of sugarcane syrup.
  • 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract.

For the Crepes:

  • 2 cups of all-purpose flour.
  • 3 cups of milk.
  • 1 cup of cocoa powder.
  • 6 tablespoons of powdered sugar.
  • 3 eggs.
  • 3 tablespoons of melted butter.
  • 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract.
  • ¼ teaspoon of salt.
  • Butter (as needed for greasing).

For the Filling:

  • 2 cups of fresh mango, diced into small cubes.
  • 2 cups of kiwi, diced into small cubes.

For the Strawberry Sauce:

  • 250 grams of fresh strawberries, diced.
  • 2 tablespoons of lemon juice.
  • 50 grams of powdered sugar.
  • ½ cup of water.

Preparation Steps:

1. Cooking the Rice:

  1. Rinse the rice in 1½ cups of water, washing it thoroughly three times until the water runs clear. Drain well.
  2. Bring the remaining water to a boil in a pot. Add vanilla extract and sugarcane syrup.
  3. Lower the heat to a simmer, add the washed rice, and cover the pot. Cook for 15 minutes until the rice is tender. Let it cool completely.

2. Preparing the Crepes:

  1. In a large mixing bowl, combine the milk, cocoa powder, flour, eggs, powdered sugar, vanilla extract, melted butter, and salt. Mix thoroughly using an electric whisk until smooth.
  2. Refrigerate the batter for 20 minutes to allow it to rest.
  3. Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and lightly grease it with butter.
  4. Pour a ladleful of the batter into the skillet, spreading it evenly to form a thin layer.
  5. Cook until the crepe is set, then flip and cook the other side briefly. Repeat with the remaining batter.

3. Making the Strawberry Sauce:

  1. Blend the strawberries, lemon juice, powdered sugar, and water in a blender until smooth.
  2. Strain the sauce through a sieve to remove any seeds, then chill in the refrigerator.

4. Assembling the Maki Rolls:

  1. Lay a crepe flat and spread a small amount of the rice mixture on it.
  2. Add a few cubes of mango and kiwi, then drizzle some strawberry sauce on top.
  3. Roll the crepe tightly, wrap it in plastic wrap, and refrigerate for at least 1 hour.

5. Serving:

  1. Remove the crepe rolls from the refrigerator and slice them into small, sushi-like pieces.
  2. Arrange the rolls on a platter and serve with extra strawberry sauce for dipping.

Tips:

  • Use fresh, ripe fruits for the best flavor.
  • Chill the crepes and rice mixture slightly before assembling for easier handling.
  • For extra flair, garnish with mint leaves or a dusting of powdered sugar.
