Method

Prepare Sushi Rice

  1. 1

    Cook Sushi Rice

    Rinse the sushi rice under cold water until the water runs clear. Combine the rinsed rice and water in a rice cooker and cook according to the manufacturer's instructions.

  2. 2

    Season Sushi Rice

    Once the rice is cooked, transfer it to a large bowl. In a small saucepan, combine rice vinegar, sugar, and salt, and heat until dissolved. Pour this mixture over the rice and gently fold to combine. Allow the rice to cool to room temperature.

Prepare Tempura Filling

  1. 3

    Prepare Salmon for Tempura

    Cut the salmon fillet into strips. Prepare the tempura batter according to the package instructions by mixing the tempura batter mix with ice water until smooth.

  2. 4

    Fry Salmon

    Heat oil in a deep frying pan to 350°F (175°C). Dip the salmon strips into the tempura batter and fry them in the hot oil until golden brown. Remove and drain on paper towels.

Assemble Sushi Rolls

  1. 5

    Slice Avocado

    Cut the avocado in half, remove the pit, and slice it thinly.

  2. 6

    Prepare Sushi Rolls

    On a bamboo sushi mat, place a sheet of nori (seaweed). Wet your hands and take a handful of sushi rice, spreading it evenly over the nori, leaving a small border at the top. Layer the cream cheese, imitation crab, tempura salmon, and avocado in the center.

  3. 7

    Roll Sushi

    Using the bamboo mat, tightly roll the sushi away from you, pressing gently as you go. Seal the edge of the nori with a bit of water.

Add Toppings

  1. 8

    Cut Rolls

    Using a sharp knife, cut the sushi roll into bite-sized pieces.

  2. 9

    Add Sauces

    Drizzle eel sauce and spicy mayo over the sliced rolls. Garnish with chopped green onion.
