Method

Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare Sushi Rice

    Rinse the sushi rice under cold water until the water runs clear. Cook rice according to package instructions. Once cooked, mix rice vinegar, sugar, and salt in a small bowl and gently fold into the rice. Let cool.

  2. 2

    Prepare the Fillings

    Slice the avocado and cucumber into thin strips. Shred the krab into smaller pieces.

  3. 3

    Assemble the Roll

    Lay a sheet of nori on a bamboo sushi mat. Wet your hands and spread a thin layer of sushi rice over the nori, leaving a small border at the top. Place a few pieces of shrimp tempura, avocado, cucumber, and krab across the center of the rice.

  4. 4

    Roll the Sushi

    Using the bamboo mat, carefully roll the sushi away from you, applying gentle pressure to shape the roll. Seal the edge of the nori with a small amount of water.

  5. 5

    Add Tempura Crumbs

    Sprinkle tempura crumbs on top of the roll before cutting.

  6. 6

    Slice and Serve

    Slice the roll into bite-sized pieces using a sharp knife. Serve with soy sauce and wasabi on the side.
