Sushi Rice

Dynamite Tartare

Method

Sushi Rice Preparation

  1. 1

    Cook the Sushi Rice

    Rinse the sushi rice under cold water until the water runs clear. Combine the rice and water in a rice cooker and cook according to the manufacturer's instructions. Once cooked, let it sit for 10 minutes.

  2. 2

    Season the Rice

    In a small bowl, mix rice vinegar, sugar, and salt until dissolved. Fold this mixture into the warm rice gently. Let it cool to room temperature.

Shrimp Preparation

  1. 3

    Prepare the Shrimp

    Season the shrimp with salt and pepper. Dredge each shrimp in flour, dip in beaten egg, and then coat with panko breadcrumbs.

  2. 4

    Fry the Shrimp

    In a deep pan, heat vegetable oil over medium-high heat. Fry the shrimp until golden brown and cooked through, about 2-3 minutes per side. Remove and drain on paper towels.

Dynamite Tartare Preparation

  1. 5

    Make the Tartare

    In a mixing bowl, combine mayonnaise, sriracha, green onions, and lime juice. Mix well and set aside.

Assembly

  1. 6

    Roll the Sushi

    Lay a nori sheet on a bamboo sushi mat. Spread a thin layer of sushi rice over the nori, leaving a small border at the top. Place 2 shrimp, some dynamite tartare, and shiso leaves across the center. Roll tightly and seal the edge with a bit of water.

  2. 7

    Slice and Serve

    Using a sharp knife, slice the roll into bite-sized pieces. Drizzle with ko chu jang soy sauce and sprinkle with toasted sesame seeds before serving.
