Kobumaki (Stuffed Kelp Rolls With Salmon)

FAQ

In Hokkaido, which is one of the largest producers of kelp in Japan, Kombu-maki (kelp rolls), in which fish such as salmon and herring are rolled in kelp, has taken root. Kombu-rolls are often made with Hidaka kelp, which is soft and low in fiber content and is found in the Hidaka region.
Instructions
  1. In a pot, mix the whole milk, cream, sugar, and corn starch/rice flour and whisk well until dissolved.
  2. Place pot on medium heat and whisk continuously for about 10 minutes until it starts to thicken.
  3. Lower the heat to low and continue whisking for a few more minutes until thickened to a pudding consistency.
The white powdery substance found on the surface of kombu is called mannitol, a umami substance. It is occasionally mistaken for dirt or mold, but one should not try to wash it off as all of the umami substance would be lost. Instead, you can simply wipe down the kombu with a wet towel to gently clean the surface.
Konbu starts out as long, narrow strips, while wakame is a bit shorter and wider. We tend to dry and crumble wakame into small shards, while konbu is more often powdered after desiccation. Konbu is great for infused drinks, wakame's stronger flavor complements other foods nicely.
