Accessibility and Innovation
The availability of guava paste and cheese makes this dessert widely accessible, while the sushi roll version provides an innovative and exciting new way to enjoy a classic combination.
This dish combines the sweet and savory flavors of Romeu e Julieta with the umami and textural elements of sushi.
The core flavors are sweet guava paste, creamy cheese (typically Minas cheese or cream cheese), savory rice, and nori seaweed. The 'hot' aspect comes from either the rice being warm or the entire roll being lightly tempura-battered and fried, creating a contrast between the warm, gooey filling and the slightly crisp exterior.
Cheese Selection
Use a creamy and mild cheese that complements the sweetness of the guava paste. Minas cheese or cream cheese are excellent choices.
Guava Paste Quality
Choose a high-quality guava paste for a more intense and authentic flavor. Look for options with a smooth texture and a vibrant red color.
Rice Temperature
If making a 'hot' roll, use warm sushi rice to create a better texture and allow the cheese to melt slightly. If deep frying, ensure the rice is cooled to hold its shape.
Frying Technique
If opting for a fried version, lightly coat the roll in tempura batter or panko breadcrumbs for a crispy exterior. Fry quickly at a high temperature to prevent the roll from becoming soggy.
Presentation
Garnish with a drizzle of guava syrup or a sprinkle of sesame seeds for an elegant presentation.
