Ingredients

Tempura Lobster

Sushi Ingredients

Preparation

Prepare the Tempura Lobster

1. Prepare the Lobster

Boil lobster tails in salted water for 5-7 minutes until cooked. Remove from water and let cool. Once cool, extract the meat from the shells and cut into strips.

2. Make the Tempura Batter

In a mixing bowl, combine all-purpose flour, cornstarch, baking powder, and cold water. Whisk until just combined; the batter should be slightly lumpy.

3. Fry the Lobster

In a deep saucepan, heat vegetable oil over medium-high heat. Dip lobster strips in the tempura batter and carefully drop into the hot oil. Fry until golden brown, about 3-4 minutes. Remove and drain on paper towels.

Prepare the Sushi Roll

4. Cook the Sushi Rice

Rinse sushi rice under cold water until the water runs clear. Cook according to package instructions. Once cooked, transfer to a bowl and mix with rice vinegar, sugar, and salt. Allow to cool.

5. Prepare Vegetables

Slice the avocado and cucumber into thin strips.

6. Assemble the Sushi Roll

Place a nori sheet on a bamboo sushi mat, shiny side down. Wet your hands and take a handful of sushi rice, spreading it evenly over the nori, leaving a small border at the top. Lay tempura lobster, avocado, and cucumber strips in the center. Roll the sushi tightly using the mat.

7. Slice and Serve

Using a sharp knife, slice the roll into bite-sized pieces. Sprinkle flying fish roe on top. Serve with soy sauce and wasabi if desired.
