Gunslinger Roll
Specialty sushi roll - shrimp tempura and avocado on the inside topped with spicy tuna, ranch mayo, and crispy onions.
Ingredients
- 1 full size sheet of nori cut smaller if desired
- ~¾ cup prepared, seasoned sushi rice
Inside Roll
- 2 prepared shrimp tempura
- 2 cucumber strips or sub avocado
Outside Roll
- ½ batch spicy tuna or sub spicy salmon
- 2 tablespoon crispy onions
- Japanese mayo
- ~1 teaspoon ranch powder/seasoning
Instructions
- Mix the ranch poweder into the japanese mayo a little a time until you're happy with the flavor. I typically prepare this in a ½ cup batch which I store in the fridge for future use, but to prepare for just one roll mix a few tablespoons of mayo with a teaspoon of the powder then adjust to taste.
- 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. (click for guide)
- Spoon the spicy tuna over the top of the roll as evenly as possibe. (click for guide)
- Place the plastic-wrapped rolling mat over the top of the roll and press the roll into a consistent shape. Be gentle with this step so you don't squeeze out the spicy tuna. (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 gentile sawing motion with the knife, running the knife under the water between every 2-3 cuts to prevent sticking. (click for guide)
- Plate the roll on your serving dish. Drizzle with the ranch mayo the top with crispy onions. (click for guide)
