Ingredients for Tempura Roll

Preparation

Preparation and Assembly

1. Prepare the Sushi Rice

Rinse the sushi rice under cold water until the water runs clear. Cook the rice according to package instructions, then let it cool to room temperature.

2. Make the Tempura Batter

In a bowl, mix the tempura batter mix with ice cold water until just combined. Do not over-mix; a few lumps are okay.

3. Fry the Shrimp

Heat vegetable oil in a deep pan over medium-high heat. Dip each shrimp into the tempura batter and carefully place them in the hot oil. Fry until golden brown and crispy, about 2-3 minutes. Remove and drain on paper towels.

4. Assemble the Roll

Lay a nori sheet on a bamboo sushi mat. Wet your hands to prevent sticking and spread a thin layer of sushi rice on the nori, leaving a border at the top. Arrange the fried shrimp, cucumber, and avocado on top of the rice. Roll tightly from the bottom to the top, using the mat to help.

5. Slice and Serve

Using a sharp knife, slice the roll into 6-8 pieces. Serve with soy sauce, wasabi, and pickled ginger on the side.
