Tempura Shrimp & Spicy Salmon Roll Recipe

Cooking Directions

1. 1

   Prepare the Tempura Shrimp

   In a large bowl, mix the tempura batter mix with ice-cold water until smooth. Heat vegetable oil in a deep pot to 350°F (175°C). Dip each shrimp into the batter, then carefully place them in the hot oil. Fry until golden brown, about 2-3 minutes. Remove and drain on paper towels.

2. 2

   Prepare the Sushi Rice

   Rinse sushi rice under cold water until the water runs clear. Cook the rice according to package instructions. In a small bowl, mix rice vinegar, sugar, and salt until dissolved. Once the rice is cooked, gently fold in the vinegar mixture and let it cool.

3. 3

   Make the Spicy Salmon Filling

   In a bowl, combine the diced salmon, sriracha sauce, mayonnaise, and finely chopped scallions. Mix well.

4. 4

   Assemble the Rolls

   Lay a nori sheet on a bamboo sushi mat. Wet your hands and spread a thin layer of sushi rice over the nori, leaving a small border at the top. Place a line of the spicy salmon mixture and a few tempura shrimp in the center. Roll tightly, using the mat to help, and seal the edge with a bit of water.

5. 5

   Slice and Serve

   Using a sharp knife, slice the sushi roll into 6-8 pieces. Sprinkle sesame seeds on top and serve with soy sauce.
