California Roll Ingredients

Shrimp Tempura Roll Ingredients

Method

California Roll Directions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Sushi Rice

    Rinse the sushi rice under cold water until the water runs clear. Cook the rice according to package instructions. Once cooked, let it cool for about 10 minutes.

  2. 2

    Season the Rice

    In a small bowl, combine rice vinegar, sugar, and salt. Microwave for 30 seconds or until sugar dissolves. Pour over the warm rice and mix gently. Let the rice cool completely.

  3. 3

    Prepare the Fillings

    Julienne the cucumber and slice the avocado thinly. Set aside.

  4. 4

    Assemble the Roll

    Lay a bamboo sushi mat on a flat surface. Place a nori sheet shiny side down on the mat. Wet your hands and spread a thin layer of sushi rice over the nori, leaving a 1-inch border at the top.

  5. 5

    Add Fillings

    Arrange cucumber, avocado, and imitation crab meat in a line across the center of the rice.

  6. 6

    Roll the Sushi

    Using the mat, carefully roll the sushi away from you, applying gentle pressure. Seal the edge with a little water. Slice into 6-8 pieces and repeat with remaining ingredients.

Shrimp Tempura Roll Directions

  1. 7

    Prepare the Tempura

    In a bowl, mix the tempura batter mix with ice water until combined. The batter should be lumpy.

  2. 8

    Fry the Shrimp

    Heat oil in a deep pot to 350°F (175°C). Dip shrimp in the batter and fry until golden brown, about 2-3 minutes. Remove and drain on paper towels.

  3. 9

    Prepare Sushi Rice

    While the shrimp cools, rinse and cook the sushi rice as in the California roll instructions, seasoning it similarly.

  4. 10

    Assemble the Shrimp Tempura Roll

    Place a nori sheet on the bamboo mat. Spread a thin layer of sushi rice over the nori. Add the fried shrimp along with any additional fillings (like cucumber or avocado) if desired.

  5. 11

    Roll the Sushi

    Roll the sushi tightly using the mat, sealing the edge with water. Cut the roll into 6-8 pieces.

  6. 12

    Serve

    Serve both rolls with soy sauce, wasabi, and pickled ginger on the side.
