Preparation and Cooking

1. 1

   Prepare the Sushi Rice

   Rinse the sushi rice under cold water until the water runs clear. Cook the rice according to package instructions and let it cool.

2. 2

   Make the Spicy Crab Mix

   In a bowl, mix the crab meat, cream cheese, and finely chopped jalapeño until well combined.

3. 3

   Assemble the Rolls

   Lay a nori sheet on a bamboo sushi mat. Spread a layer of sushi rice over the nori, leaving about 1 inch at the top. Place a line of the spicy crab mix and a slice of avocado in the center. Roll tightly using the mat, sealing the edge with a bit of water.

4. 4

   Tempura Fry the Rolls

   In a bowl, mix the tempura batter with cold water according to package instructions. Heat vegetable oil in a deep pan over medium-high heat. Cut the sushi roll into bite-sized pieces, dip each piece into the tempura batter, and fry until golden brown. Drain on paper towels.
