Tempura Roll Ingredients

Method

Preparation Steps

  1. 1

    Prepare 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 and season with a mixture of rice vinegar, sugar, and salt.

  2. 2

    Prepare the Fillings

    Slice the fresh salmon and avocado into thin strips.

  3. 3

    Make Tempura Batter

    In a bowl, mix the tempura batter mix with cold water until smooth.

  4. 4

    Heat Oil for Frying

    In a deep pan or fryer, heat the vegetable oil to 180°C (350°F).

  5. 5

    Fry the Salmon

    Coat the salmon slices in the tempura batter and carefully place them in the hot oil. Fry until golden brown and crispy, about 2-3 minutes. Remove and drain on paper towels.

  6. 6

    Assemble the Roll

    On a bamboo sushi mat, lay a sheet of nori. Spread a thin layer of sushi rice over the nori, leaving a small border. Place a few slices of fried salmon and avocado in the center. Roll tightly using the mat.

  7. 7

    Slice and Serve

    Using a sharp knife, slice the roll into bite-sized pieces. Serve with soy sauce, wasabi, and pickled ginger.
