Tempura Sushi Roll Recipe

Preparing the Sushi Rice

Start by cooking your sushi rice according to package instructions. Once cooked, season with sushi vinegar, sugar, and a pinch of salt. Allow it to cool to room temperature before use.

Making Tempura Batter

In a mixing bowl, combine tempura batter mix with cold water. Stir until smooth, making sure not to overmix to keep the batter light and airy.

Assembling the Sushi Roll

Place a nori sheet on a bamboo sushi mat. Spread sushi rice evenly over nori, leaving space at the top. Add your chosen fillings (raw fish, cream cheese, and avocado) in a line along the bottom edge. Gently roll the sushi using the mat, press firmly to shape.

Deep Frying the Roll

Dip the entire roll into the tempura batter, ensuring it is fully covered. Carefully deep fry in hot oil until golden. Let it drain on paper towels to remove excess oil.

Serving

Cut the roll into bite-sized pieces. Serve with pickled ginger, wasabi, and your choice of sauce (sweet soy reduction or spicy mayo dip). Enjoy your crisp, delectable tempura sushi roll!
