Sushi Rice

Method

Prepare Sushi Rice

  1. 1

    Cook 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 Rice

    In a small bowl, mix rice vinegar, sugar, and salt until dissolved. Gently fold this mixture into the cooked rice while it's still warm. Allow it to cool to room temperature.

Prepare Fillings

  1. 3

    Make Crab Mix

    In a bowl, combine crab meat, mayonnaise, and sriracha. Mix well and set aside.

  2. 4

    Make Spicy Tuna

    In another bowl, mix the diced tuna with sesame oil and chopped green onions. Set aside.

Assemble Rolls

  1. 5

    Roll Sushi

    Place a sheet of nori on a bamboo mat. Wet your hands and spread a thin layer of sushi rice over the nori, leaving a 1-inch border at the top. Add a line of crab mix, spicy tuna, and avocado slices along the center.

  2. 6

    Roll and Cut

    Using the bamboo mat, carefully roll the sushi away from you, pressing gently to keep it tight. Once rolled, cut the sushi into 8 pieces using a sharp knife.

Fry Rolls

  1. 7

    Fry Sushi Rolls

    Heat vegetable oil in a deep pan to 350°F (175°C). Dip each sushi roll in panko breadcrumbs and fry until golden brown, about 2-3 minutes. Drain on paper towels.

Serve

  1. 8

    Garnish and Serve

    Drizzle kabayaki sauce and truffle aioli over the fried rolls. Serve immediately with extra sauces on the side.
