Ingredients for Shrimp Tempura Roll

Method

Directions for Shrimp Tempura Roll

  1. 1

    Prepare the Tempura Shrimp

    In a bowl, mix the tempura batter mix with cold water to create a light batter. Heat vegetable oil in a deep pan over medium-high heat. Dip each shrimp into the batter, then fry in the hot oil until golden and crispy, about 2-3 minutes. Remove and drain on paper towels.

  2. 2

    Prepare the Sushi Rice

    Ensure the sushi rice is cooked and cooled slightly before using. It should be sticky but not hot.

  3. 3

    Assemble the Sushi Roll

    On a bamboo sushi mat, place a nori sheet shiny side down. Wet your hands and spread a layer of sushi rice evenly over the nori, leaving about an inch at the top. Place the tempura shrimp, cucumber slices, spicy lobster meat, pepper tuna, avocado slices, and a drizzle of mango sauce 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 form a tight roll. Seal the edge of the nori with a bit of water.

  5. 5

    Slice the Roll

    With a sharp, wet knife, slice the roll into 6-8 pieces. Repeat the process with the remaining ingredients.

  6. 6

    Serve

    Arrange the sushi rolls on a plate, drizzle with eel sauce, and serve with soy sauce, wasabi, and pickled ginger on the side.
