Ludo à la Maison - King Crab Rolls with Sushi Rice and Spicy Mayo

Welcome to Ludo La Maison. We are going to do a king crab roll with sushi rice and spicy mayo. As you know, California is always hot. If it's a boiling crab like this with hot butter, it's good when it's cold outside or whatever, it's great. But how I can do that for every day, you know? First, we're going to do the rice, okay? So for that, you need sushi rice. We put the rice in here. Look, if you don't have sushi rice, use another rice. You can use basmati rice, it's fine too, okay guys? Risotto rice, whatever you have, it's fine. Now we're going to add three cups of water, cold water. If possible, mineral water. Why? Because it's better. Then the faucet. Un, deux, trois. Slowly like this. We're going to bring to boil and after I'm going to cover it, okay? In the meantime here, bring to boil the mirin, the sugar, and the rice vinegar. So you have some butter. I'm going to melt the butter slowly. It's going to be for the massage to the crab with the butter. Maintenant, we're going to cut the crab. Follow me. We're going to do the cutting board. Come here. Thin crab legs, okay? You can get them anywhere in any store now, okay? Don't cut yourself. Make sure your knife is sharp very well because the shell of the crab are pretty, I would say, soft. It's not like, it's hard, but it's pretty chewy, the shell. It's very hard to cut, you know? The best way is really to have a knife, you know, with a little point like this, crack the shell first, and after just crack it like this. So you know the story about where I eat crab like this before, guys? It was a Christmas day and we were invited to go eat in my in-law's sister. Mimi, I think. Ah, Mimi, and Bill, and Mimi, I don't know. I was very excited. Great, I love when people cook for me. Love it. Christmas day, I want to relax. So we went over there driving the snow, food, take an hour. And I say, oh my God, it's very interesting. Nothing is set up. The table was not set up, nothing. You know, normally, you know, people like set up the table with a lot of beautiful china and the glasses. It was a lot of journal paper, like a newspaper on the table. Newspapers everywhere. Oh, interesting. Christmas day and it's not that much food around the house. When you are in France, I mean, Christmas is like a feast. I mean, you have food everywhere. Not a lot of thing was happening. I just saw two big pot of water on the stove. Big frozen king crab legs. Cook it, take the king crab legs and just throw them on the table on the newspaper. Love it. And that's it. It was amazing, amazing memory. I will never forget that day. Rice is cooking slowly. We're good. The butter is ready. Our mirin, rice vinegar, sugar is ready. Okay, let's go. A little bit of butter. Why butter? Grill this one. Voila. Voila, it smells good already. Woo! Wow. Voila. We're back in business. Voila. And grill it. Take my rice, the bowl like this. My mirin, rice vinegar and sugar a little bit here. We're seasoning the rice. Mix it. Put on the rice. Not cold, but warm. Très bien. Super cool. Get the rest of the crab here. Voila, so you see it's pretty fast. It take what, a good eight minutes, 10 minutes? Okay, on high. Wait to get a beautiful coloration. That's for me. Voila. So now I'm gonna put a newspaper on the table like a big and mini house. Okay. So make sure to put some people you like, the face. You're going to eat in front of them. So let's go put some good news here. Happy kid. Let's go put a happy kid here. Voila, beautiful car. Now, take my crab here. And it's just like, firstly, just put the crab right on the table. And after you see all the people jumping on the crab. It's crazy. And of course. Homemade mayonnaise. Put a little bit of lemon in the mayonnaise. Put lemon just on the crab. And put some spicy sauce in the mayo. Mix it. We'll take some soy pepper. I'm gonna do some classical like we do in France. We'll take a nice piece of crab. Put on top here. Comme ça. Put a little bit of mayo. And after I'm going to roll it. Okay. A bit of butter here. King crab rolls with sushi rice, spicy mayo, and butter. Voila. Sabotage. Was a piece of shell. My friend asked me, you know when you're doing another king crab leg night, it's really good to give memory to your friend too. Like I learned that from somebody else and now I'm doing that too in my house. It's good.
