Surprised they didn’t complain about the sushi being a roll of canned tuna with cream cheese. I wouldn’t worry about the ranch.

How do you make mayonnaise?

The recipe I use calls for 3 egg yolks, 1 tbsp oil, ½tsp lemon juice, ½ tsp lime juice, ¼tsp sugar, pinch of salt.

Whip together in a bowl or jar, it won’t emulsify if there’s a thunderstorm coming.

Somehow the yolks turn white. I assume this is due to the proteins getting stretched.

You can add one of the egg whites if you’re making an aioli from scratch. Otherwise, they can be used for merengue.

Reminds me that like the California roll, Philadelphia roll and ig using stuff like cream cheese, just wasn’t a thing in Japan, they are American things, but as Japense tourists came to america and had them, they started wanting them back home and some people are pissed Japense sushi is being “Americanized”

Yep, rolls originally weren’t a thing in Japan. Sushi rolls started with the California Roll, which was invented in Little Tokyo, LA. Traditional Japanese sushi is just rice and fish, with freshly-grated Wasabi sandwiched in between.

rolls are a thing. it’s different though, with seaweed wrap on the outside, instead of rice. it’s called makizushi.

You might want to re-read my comment because I carefully worded it. I know that rolls are currently a thing in Japan.

I add cream cheese to my Dragon rolls. It’s delicious with eel.

TIL about American sushi. I was wondering why the sushi looked weird, sushi typically has seaweed outside where I live.

Side-eyes the chunks of Creme-cheese in those Sushi Rolls … yes, the ranch-dipping crosses some sort of line, I guess.

The Philadelphia roll is pretty good though. Reminds me of bagels and lox. Why gatekeep, friend?

For you maybe, but bagels and lox is fire. Definitely worth trying.

I actually love all of it, minus any need for adding ranch dressing. Just saying that you, me, and OP have no grounds to diss it.

True. I’ve got to imagine it is not good, like at all. But there is this nihilistic bastard in my head gaslighting me; Maybe it’s not so bad. We care about nothing, Lebowski. Point being there is a non-zero chance that this is legit. Probably terrible, but I am saying that there’s a chance.
