Method

Prepare Sushi Rice

  1. 1

    Rinse Rice

    Rinse the sushi rice under cold water until the water runs clear to remove excess starch.

  2. 2

    Cook Rice

    Combine the rinsed rice and water in a rice cooker and cook according to the rice cooker's instructions.

  3. 3

    Season Rice

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

Prepare Filling

  1. 4

    Cut Vegetables

    Slice the cucumber and avocado into thin strips. Set aside.

  2. 5

    Prepare Surimi

    Shred the surimi into smaller pieces to make it easier to roll.

Assemble Rolls

  1. 6

    Prepare Nori

    Lay a sheet of nori, shiny side down, on a bamboo sushi mat.

  2. 7

    Add Rice

    Wet your hands to prevent sticking, then take a handful of sushi rice and spread it evenly over the nori, leaving about 1 inch at the top edge.

  3. 8

    Add Filling

    Layer the surimi, cucumber, and avocado in a line across the middle of the rice.

  4. 9

    Roll Sushi

    Using the bamboo mat, carefully roll the sushi away from you, pressing gently but firmly to form a tight roll.

  5. 10

    Cut the Roll

    Use a sharp knife to slice the roll into 6-8 pieces, wiping the knife with a damp cloth after each cut to prevent sticking.

Prepare Batter and Fry

  1. 11

    Make Batter

    In a bowl, mix together flour, cornstarch, baking powder, and salt. Gradually add cold water until you achieve a smooth batter.

  2. 12

    Heat Oil

    In a deep pot, heat vegetable oil over medium-high heat until it reaches 350°F (175°C).

  3. 13

    Coat and Fry

    Dip each sushi roll in the batter, allowing excess to drip off, then carefully lower it into the hot oil. Fry until golden brown, about 2-3 minutes per side.

  4. 14

    Drain and Cool

    Remove the rolls from the oil and place them on a plate lined with paper towels to drain excess oil.

Serve

  1. 15

    Plate and Serve

    Arrange the deep-fried CA rolls on a serving platter and serve with unagi sauce on the side for dipping.
