INGREDIENTS

  • Sushi Rice

    • ¾ cup Japanese sushi-style rice
    • 💧 ¾ cup water
    • 1 ⅓ tablespoons rice vinegar
    • 🍬 1 ⅓ tablespoons white sugar
    • 🧂 2 ¼ teaspoons salt
  • Sushi Fillings

    • 🍤 8 frozen tempura shrimp
    • 2 sheets nori (dry seaweed)
    • 2 sticks imitation crabmeat, cut into 1/4-inch pieces
    • 🥒 1 cucumber - peeled, seeded, and cut into 1/4-inch strips
    • 🥑 1 avocado, sliced
    • 10 ounces frozen unagi kabayaki (grilled eel), thawed and sliced into 2-inch strips

STEPS

1

Rinse rice in a strainer until water runs clear. Combine rinsed rice and water in a medium saucepan; bring to a boil. Reduce heat to low, cover, and cook until rice is tender and water is absorbed.

2

Combine rice vinegar, sugar, and salt in a small saucepan over low heat; stir until sugar is dissolved. Pour over rice; stir until rice cools and looks dry.

3

Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Grease a baking sheet with cooking spray. Arrange shrimp tempura on the prepared baking sheet.

4

Bake shrimp in the preheated oven until golden and crispy, about 6 minutes per side. Cut the tails off of 4 tempura shrimp.

5

Cover a bamboo sushi rolling mat with plastic wrap. Lay 1 nori sheet, shiny-side down, on the plastic wrap. Spread 1 cup rice over nori using moistened fingers, leaving a 1/3-inch border. Flip nori so rice is facing the mat.

6

Arrange imitation crabmeat and cucumber along the bottom edge of nori. Place 2 tail-off shrimp in the center of nori. Place 2 tail-on shrimp on the end so that the tails extend over the sides of nori. Lift the edge of the mat and roll up nori into a tight log around filling.

7

Transfer sushi roll to a serving plate. Layer avocado and unagi slices on top to cover the top and sides of roll. Slice roll into 8 pieces using a moistened knife. Repeat with remaining ingredients to make a second roll.
