📝 Ingredients

  • 2 cups sushi rice
  • 2 1/2 cups water
  • 2 tablespoons rice vinegar
  • 1 tablespoon sugar
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 4 sheets of nori (seaweed)
  • 8 large shrimp, peeled and deveined
  • Tempura batter mix
  • Vegetable oil, for frying
  • 1 small cucumber, cut into thin strips
  • Soy sauce, for dipping
  • Wasabi, for serving
  • Pickled ginger, for serving

📝 Method

  1. Rinse the sushi rice under cold water until the water runs clear. Drain well.
  2. In a saucepan, combine the sushi rice and water. Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat and simmer, covered, for about 20 minutes or until the rice is cooked and the water is absorbed.
  3. In a small bowl, mix the rice vinegar, sugar, and salt until the sugar and salt dissolve.
  4. Transfer the cooked rice to a large bowl and pour the vinegar mixture over it. Gently mix to coat the rice with the seasoning. Allow it to cool to room temperature.
  5. Place a bamboo sushi mat on a clean surface and put a sheet of nori on top.
  6. Wet your hands with water and take a handful of sushi rice, spreading it evenly over the nori, leaving about 1 inch at the top free of rice.
  7. Lay the cucumber strips and tempura shrimp along the center of the rice.
  8. Using the bamboo mat, roll the sushi tightly from the bottom, applying gentle pressure to shape it into a cylinder. Moisten the top edge of the nori with water to seal the roll.
  9. Prepare the tempura batter according to the package instructions.
  10. Heat vegetable oil in a deep pan or pot for frying.
  11. Dip the tempura shrimp into the batter, allowing any excess to drip off, and carefully place them in the hot oil. Fry until golden brown and crispy. Remove and drain on paper towels.
  12. Slice the tempura shrimp roll into bite-sized pieces.
  13. Serve the tempura shrimp roll with soy sauce, wasabi, and pickled ginger.
