Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups sushi rice (rinsed and soaked for 30 minutes)
- 2 ½ cups water
- 1/2 cup rice vinegar
- 1/4 cup sugar
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 8–10 shrimp, peeled and deveined (cooked or raw)
- 1/2 cup tempura batter mix
- 1 ripe avocado, thinly sliced
- 4 sheets nori (seaweed)
- 3 tablespoons spicy mayo (mayo mixed with Sriracha)
- 1 tablespoon sesame oil
- Chopped green onions and furikake (for garnish)
Instructions
- Soak rinsed sushi rice in water for 30 minutes. Cook with 2 ½ cups water using a rice cooker or stovetop. Let sit for 10 minutes after cooking.
- In a saucepan, warm rice vinegar, sugar, and salt until dissolved. Fold into the cooked rice gently to season.
- Mix tempura batter per package instructions. Dip shrimp into the batter and fry until golden, about 2–3 minutes each. Drain on paper towels.
- Lay a sheet of nori on a bamboo mat. Spread a layer of sushi rice over it, leaving space at the top edge.
- Place crispy shrimp and avocado slices across the center. Drizzle spicy mayo on top.
- Roll up the sushi tightly from bottom to top, using the mat to guide. Wet a sharp knife to slice into bite-sized pieces.
- Arrange sliced rolls on a baking dish. Drizzle more spicy mayo and sesame oil over them. Broil for 2–3 minutes until golden on top.
- Sprinkle with chopped green onions and furikake. Serve fresh and enjoy!
Notes
Make sure to wet your knife before slicing for cleaner cuts. For a vegan version, try marinated tofu instead of shrimp. Don’t overload the roll with fillings to avoid breakage.
