Ingredients
- 1 full size sheet of nori cut smaller if desired
- ~¾ cup prepared, seasoned sushi rice
Inside Roll
- 2 prepared shrimp tempura
- 3 avocado slices (~⅙th of an avocado)
Outside Roll
- spicy mayo
- 3 tablespoon panko bread crumbs
- 2 teaspoon toasted sesame oil for toasting bread crumbs
Instructions
- Combine the panko and sesame oil in a small skillet over medium to medium-low heat. Cook, stirring frequently, until the panko turns golden (2-3 minutes), then remove from heat and set aside.
- Cover the sheet of nori in a thin even layer of rice, filling all the way out to the edges. (click for guide)
- Flip the sheet of nori over so the rice is face down on a bamboo rolling mat that is wrapped in plastic. (click for guide)
- Arrange the fillings (shrimp tempura and avocado) in even lines, 1 inch from the edge along the longer side of the nori sheet. (click for guide)
- Carefully and tightly roll up the roll. Place the plastic-wrapped rolling mat over the top of the roll and press the roll into a consistent shape. (click for guide)
- Place the roll on a cutting board and grab your sharpest knife. Optionally, cover the roll with plastic cling wrap. Run the knife under water for a second, then shake off any excess. Cut the roll into 8 equal pieces using a gentle sawing motion with the knife, running the knife under the tap between every 2-3 cuts to prevent sticking. (click for guide)
- Plate the roll on your serving dish. Drizzle with spicy mayo then top with the toasted panko. (click for guide)
