Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup Sushi Rice (Rinsed thoroughly for perfect stickiness.)
- 1 1/4 Water (For cooking rice.)
- 1 piece Kombu (Optional) (Enhances flavor during rice cooking.)
- 2 tablespoons Unseasoned Rice Vinegar (Balances sushi rice flavors.)
- 1 tablespoon Granulated Sugar (Adds sweetness to rice.)
- 1 teaspoon Kosher Salt (Enhances flavor.)
- 1 cup Vegetable Oil (For frying shrimp.)
- 3/4 cup All-Purpose Flour (Chilling helps achieve crispiness.)
- 1 cup Water (for batter) (For desired consistency.)
- 1 large Egg (Binds the batter.)
- 12 pieces Jumbo Shrimp (peeled, tails removed) (Choose high-quality shrimp.)
- 4 sheets Nori Sheets (Wraps the ingredients.)
- 1 medium Avocado (sliced) (Adds creaminess.)
- to taste Soy Sauce, Wasabi, Pickled Ginger (For serving.)
Instructions
- Rinse the sushi rice until the water runs clear to remove excess starch. Combine the rice with water and add kombu; cook according to package instructions. Mix in vinegar, sugar, and salt, then allow to cool.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, cold water, and large egg until smooth. Adjust consistency as needed.
- Heat vegetable oil in a skillet over medium heat until shimmering. Dip each shrimp in the tempura batter, then fry for about 2-3 minutes until golden brown. Drain on paper towels.
- Lay a sheet of nori on a bamboo mat. Spread an even layer of sushi rice onto the nori, place fried shrimp and avocado slices in the center, then roll tightly using the mat.
- With a wet, sharp knife, slice the roll into bite-sized pieces. Serve with soy sauce, wasabi, and pickled ginger.
