Maki Ingredients

Method

Preparation Steps

  1. 1

    Prepare Tempura Shrimp

    Heat vegetable oil in a deep pan or fryer to 350°F (175°C). In a bowl, mix tempura batter with water until combined. Dip shrimp in the batter and fry until golden brown and crispy. Remove and drain on paper towels.

  2. 2

    Prepare Sushi Rice

    Cook sushi rice according to package instructions. Once cooked, allow it to cool slightly and season with rice vinegar, sugar, and salt to taste.

  3. 3

    Assemble Maki

    Place a sheet of nori on a bamboo sushi mat. Spread a thin layer of sushi rice over the nori, leaving a 1-inch border at the top. Lay down tempura shrimp, crab sticks, and a line of cream cheese across the center. Drizzle some spicy agave mustard over the filling.

  4. 4

    Roll the Maki

    Using the bamboo mat, carefully roll the sushi away from you, pressing gently but firmly to keep the filling inside. Moisten the top border of the nori with water to seal the roll.

  5. 5

    Cut and Serve

    Using a sharp knife, cut the roll into 6-8 pieces. Drizzle sweet soy sauce over the top and serve with extra spicy agave mustard on the side.
