About this recipe
Seafood and Cream Cheese Rolls Thermomix TM7 bring sushi-inspired flavours to your table without any complicated rolling techniques. If you search for sushi recipes Thermomix or easy party appetiser TM7, this is exactly the kind of preparation the all-in-one kitchen machine excels at. The TM7 cooks the sushi rice gently so every grain turns sticky and tender, while the built-in scale weighs the rice, water and caster sugar directly in the mixing bowl for consistent results every time. The rice vinegar and sugar seasoning is mixed evenly through the hot rice, giving that authentic sweet-sour taste. Filled with creamy cheese, savoury surimi, cool cucumber and soft avocado with a hint of sriracha, these rolls are ideal as a starter for guests or a light quick weeknight dinner. No oven, no hob juggling, just one device doing the precise work.
Preparation tips
- Rinse the sushi rice thoroughly in cold water before cooking until the water runs almost clear; this removes excess starch and gives the rolls a clean, tender bite rather than a gluey texture.
- Spread the seasoned rice over a plate and let it cool slightly before assembling; warm rice softens the cream cheese too much, while cool rice holds the surimi, cucumber and avocado neatly in place.
- Cut the avocado just before rolling and brush it with a little rice vinegar to prevent browning; slice the cucumber into thin sticks so every roll stays even and easy to bite.
Recipe variations
- Vegetarian variation: replace the surimi sticks with strips of smoked tofu or omelette; the cream cheese, avocado and sriracha keep the rolls creamy and spicy while making them fully fish-free.
- Festive variation: add thin strips of mango and sprinkle the finished rolls with toasted sesame seeds and a drizzle of sriracha-mayo; the sweet fruit pairs beautifully with the savoury cream cheese for a party platter.
