Crunch Shrimp Tempura Roll Recipe

Preparation Directions

1. 1

   Prepare the Tempura Shrimp

   In a bowl, mix tempura batter with ice cold water until just combined. Heat vegetable oil in a deep pan to about 350°F (175°C). Dip shrimp in the tempura batter and fry in batches until golden brown and crispy. Drain on paper towels.

2. 2

   Prepare the Sushi Roll

   Place a bamboo sushi mat on a flat surface. Lay a sheet of nori on the mat, shiny side down. Wet your hands and spread a thin layer of sushi rice over the nori, leaving a 1-inch border at the top. Place tempura shrimp, avocado slices, and cucumber strips in a line along the bottom edge of the rice.

3. 3

   Roll the Sushi

   Using the bamboo mat, carefully roll the sushi away from you, applying gentle pressure to keep it tight. Roll until the nori edge meets the rice, wet the edge with a little water to seal. Repeat with remaining ingredients.

4. 4

   Slice and Serve

   Using a sharp knife, slice the rolls into 6-8 pieces. Drizzle with spicy mayo and sushi sauce, then sprinkle with fried onions and sesame seeds before serving.
