How To Wrap A Subway Sandwich |
The Humble Beginnings: The Paper Placement
First things first, the paper. This isn't origami, folks, but there is a certain finesse. Imagine the paper as a shy date. Don't smother the sandwich with it. Place it diagonally, with the point of the triangle just shy of the center of your masterpiece. The sandwich should be diagonally across the paper, like a runway model ready to strut its stuff (made of salami, perhaps?).
The Folds of Fury: Containing the Delicious Mayhem
Now comes the magic. Here's where the "art" part comes in. Channel your inner sculptor. Fold the short side of the paper (the one closest to the point) over the bottom third of the sandwich. Give it a gentle but firm tuck. This is your base layer, the foundation upon which your sandwichy empire will be built.
Next, the sides. These are like loyal bodyguards for your overstuffed goodness. Fold them both inwards, one at a time, like a hug for your creation. Don't be afraid to get a little forceful here. You want them secure, but not suffocating the fillings (we're not barbarians).
Tip: Revisit challenging parts.
The Grand Finale: The Roll of Destiny
We're on the home stretch! Take a deep breath and with steady hands, begin to roll the wrap tightly from the bottom up. Imagine you're rolling out a red carpet for your sandwich's triumphant entry into your hungry belly. The tighter the roll, the less likely you are to experience a "Subway-splosion" all over your lap.
Top tip: As you roll, use the free corner of the paper to tuck any escapee veggies or rogue bits of cheese back in line. They're part of the team, after all!
And finally, the most important step: Seal the deal with a hearty squeeze. This isn't the time for subtlety. Give it a good hug to ensure everything stays put. You've created a masterpiece, a culinary work of art!
