2 each lapchong, fine diced (may substitute with sausage)
2 cups cooked sushi rice
1/4 cup chopped scallions
1/4 cup chopped cilantro
1 tablespoon oyster sauce

scallions, cilantro and oyster sauce. Season and check. Stuff the squid tubes using
a pastry bag or plastic bag with the tip cut off. Oil the grill and season the tubes
with salt, and chile. Mark the tubes, and roll them around so that all sides cook
evenly, about 4 minutes total. Be careful not to overcook the squid as it will get tough.
Let rest 1 minute then slice into one inch pieces, like sushi rolls.

Sautee garlic, chiles, black beans and ginger until soft. Deglaze with vinegar and
reduce by 80%. Let cool completely. In a food processor, add mixture with yolks.
While processor is on, drizzle in oil, slowly at first until it emulsifies then more
quickly. Check for seasoning. Store in fridge.

PLATING
Fill a small dish with the aioli and arrange the "sushi" around the dish.
The "sushi" should be dipped before consumed.

Yield: 30 pieces each
