Preparation time: 10 minutes
Cooking time: 2 minutes
Total time: 12 minutes
Servings: 2
Ingredients:
- 1 pack of surimi (approx. 250 g)
- 1 medium tomato
- 1 lemon
- Salt, to taste
- Pepper, to taste
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons rice oil
- 1 bunch of fresh parsley
- Green garlic shoots, for decoration
- A few slices of bell pepper, for garnish
Step-by-step preparation:
1. Preparing the ingredients: Start by gathering all the ingredients you will use. Make sure the surimi is at room temperature for even cooking. Wash the tomato, lemon, and parsley well. Cut the tomato into small cubes and chop the parsley. You will use the lemon both to add freshness to the dish and for serving.
2. Boiling the surimi: In a small pot, add water and bring it to a boil. When the water starts to boil, add two slices of lemon to flavor the surimi. Place the surimi rolls in the water and let them boil for 2 minutes. It is important not to leave them longer, otherwise, they will fall apart and become unpleasant in texture.
3. Draining and seasoning: After 2 minutes, remove the surimi rolls from the water and let them drain well. Place them on a plate and drizzle with rice oil and soy sauce, gently mixing to combine the flavors.
4. Assembling the dish: Add the tomato cubes and chopped parsley over the surimi rolls. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
5. Serving: Decoration is key to an attractive presentation. Arrange the rolls on a plate and decorate them with green garlic shoots and slices of bell pepper, adding a splash of color and freshness. You can also add a few slices of lemon on the edge of the plate for a more elegant look.
