Hawaii chile pepper water*

* These ingredients are to taste

Soak konbu for 5 minutes in water, then open up slowly so as not to break it. Cut in half.

If using fish, season with Pinch of Herbs and pepper to taste and sear in a hot pan with a little oil.

Place a piece of chicken or seared fish on a konbu sheet. Add Lawry's Herbs Seasoning and pepper to the chicken.

Place a strip of gobo on either side of chicken or fish. Roll up and tie in the middle firmly with enough kampyo to knot twice.

Blend chicken stock, soy sauce and brown sugar. Bring to a boil. Place rolls in liquid, wait for boiling to subside, add slice of garlic for fish or slice of ginger for chicken. Add dash of chile pepper water and rice wine.

Cover and simmer for approximately 45 minutes.

Serve with oyster sauce and parsley or cilantro. Makes 2 rolls.
