Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups sushi rice
- 4 nori sheets
- 1 cup tempura shrimp (pre-cooked or homemade)
- 1 ripe avocado, thinly sliced
- 1 medium cucumber, julienned
- 3 tablespoons mayonnaise
- 1 tablespoon Sriracha (adjust for spice preference)
- Low-sodium soy sauce (for serving)
- 1 tablespoon toasted sesame seeds (for garnish)
Instructions
- Prepare the Sushi Rice: Rinse the sushi rice under cold water until the water runs clear. Cook according to package instructions (about 15-20 minutes).
- Season the Rice: Transfer cooked rice to a bowl. Mix in rice vinegar, sugar, and salt while fanning to cool.
- Prepare Tempura Shrimp: If not pre-cooked, dip shrimp in tempura batter and fry until golden brown (about 3-4 minutes per side).
- Assemble Rolls: Place a nori sheet on a bamboo mat and spread an even layer of sushi rice over it, leaving a small border at the top.
- Add Fillings and Roll: Lay avocado slices, cucumber sticks, and tempura shrimp along the bottom edge of the rice-covered nori. Roll tightly using the mat.
- Slice and Serve: With a sharp knife dipped in water, slice each roll into six bite-sized pieces. Serve with soy sauce and extra spicy mayo.
