Ingredients

Method

Directions

  1. 1

    Prepare Sushi Rice

    Rinse the sushi rice under cold water until the water runs clear. Cook the rice according to package instructions. Once cooked, let it cool slightly and mix in rice vinegar to taste.

  2. 2

    Assemble the Roll

    Place a nori sheet on a bamboo sushi mat, shiny side down. Wet your hands and spread a thin layer of sushi rice on the nori, leaving a 1-inch border at the top.

  3. 3

    Add Fillings

    In the center of the rice, place a line of spicy tuna, followed by a layer of grilled eel and a few slices of avocado.

  4. 4

    Roll It Up

    Using the bamboo mat, carefully roll the sushi away from you, applying gentle pressure to form a tight roll. Seal the edge with a little water.

  5. 5

    Fry the Roll

    Heat oil in a pan and lightly toast panko breadcrumbs until golden brown. Roll the sushi in the breadcrumbs to coat.

  6. 6

    Slice and Serve

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