recipe: low carb maki - prawn & chives (large sushi roll / Japanese fusion)

large riceless sushi roll - prawn & chives
If you switch the cornflour for 10g coconut flour, and the surimi for flaked steamed fish it's leaning much more towards keto . . . I love these . . . I'm slowly building a repertoire of fillings. As you might guess, some things work, somethings, not so much! If you try any variations you're welcom to put them in the comments!

IngredientsMakes: 274g (5)
200g (4) medium eggs
20g cornflour
180g milk
Method
Makes 5 pancakes - 80g mix each
Using 27cm pancake skillet - large one!
80g x5 pancakes - weigh in 274g - ovals 42g each - 210g / 5
-
Stick blend all the ingredients together breaking up the egg whites.
Pour 80g mix onto the oil glazed pan.
Move the pan about so the batter completely coats the bottom of the pan.
Hold the pan above the flame, keep the mix moving to evenly coat the surface.
Keep moving the pan until all the mix has set.
Turn the heat down and wait until the pancake comes away from the pan easily.
Toss the pancake to cook the other side.
Turn out onto a suitably larg plate. Reapeat until you have 5 pancakes.
Hold a sheet of nori over the top pancake - widest edge toward you.
Cut 2 parallel lines across the pancake so it's 1 inch short of the depth of the nori.
The top should be an inch short of the nori sheet so it rolls properly.
This gives you 5 ovals and off cuts.
