Main Ingredients

Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Rice

    Rinse the sushi rice under cold water until the water runs clear. Cook the rice according to package instructions, adding rice vinegar, sugar, and salt once cooked, mixing well. Allow to cool.

  2. 2

    Prepare the Cucumber

    Julienne the cucumber into thin strips and set aside.

Tempura Salmon Skin

  1. 3

    Make Tempura Batter

    In a bowl, mix the tempura batter mix with water until smooth. Heat oil in a deep pan.

  2. 4

    Fry Salmon Skin

    Dip the salmon skin into the batter and fry in hot oil until crispy. Remove and drain on paper towels.

Assembling the Rolls

  1. 5

    Roll the Sushi

    Lay a nori sheet on a bamboo mat. Spread a thin layer of sushi rice over the nori, leaving a 1-inch border. Add a line of cucumber strips and a piece of salmon fillet. Optionally, add crispy tempura salmon skin for extra crunch.

  2. 6

    Roll It Up

    Using the bamboo mat, roll the sushi tightly away from you. Seal the edge with a little water. Slice into 6-8 pieces.

Serving

  1. 7

    Serve

    Arrange the sushi rolls on a plate and drizzle with sweet soy sauce. Serve with extra sauce on the side for dipping.
