Sushi Roll Ingredients

Method

Preparation of Sushi Rice

  1. 1

    Cook Sushi Rice

    Rinse 2 cups of sushi rice under cold water until the water runs clear. Place the rice in a rice cooker with 2 cups of water. Cook according to the rice cooker's instructions. Once done, let it sit for 10 minutes.

  2. 2

    Season the Rice

    In a small bowl, mix 3 tablespoons of rice vinegar with a pinch of salt. Gently fold this mixture into the cooked rice while it’s still warm. Allow the rice to cool to room temperature.

Preparation of Shrimp Tempura

  1. 3

    Prepare Tempura Batter

    In a bowl, combine 1 cup of tempura batter mix with 1 cup of cold water. Mix gently until just combined.

  2. 4

    Fry Shrimp

    Heat oil in a deep frying pan to 350°F (175°C). Dip each shrimp in the tempura batter, allowing excess to drip off, and fry in batches until golden brown (about 3-4 minutes). Remove and drain on paper towels.

Assembling the Sushi Roll

  1. 5

    Prepare the Nori

    Place a bamboo sushi mat on a clean surface and lay one nori sheet, shiny side down. Wet your hands to prevent sticking.

  2. 6

    Spread Sushi Rice

    Evenly spread a thin layer (about 1 cup) of sushi rice over the nori, leaving a 1-inch border at the top.

  3. 7

    Add Fillings

    In the center of the rice, layer shrimp tempura, slices of fried maduro, and a line of cream cheese. Add a spoonful of guacamole on top.

  4. 8

    Roll the Sushi

    Using the bamboo mat, carefully roll the sushi away from you, tucking the filling inside. Roll tightly until the nori is sealed. Use a little water to seal the edge of the nori.

Topping and Serving

  1. 9

    Add Seafood Mix

    Slice the roll into 8 equal pieces and arrange on a serving platter. Top each piece with a spoonful of the cooked seafood mix.

  2. 10

    Garnish and Serve

    Serve with soy sauce, wasabi, and pickled ginger on the side. Enjoy your Mambo 36 Roll!
