Ingredients

Servings:2
  • 2 cups Sushi Rice (cooked and seasoned)
  • 2 sheets Nori (Seaweed sheets)
  • 4 pieces Shrimp Tempura
  • 1/2 cup Cucumber (julienned)
  • 1 whole Ripe Avocado
  • 2 tablespoons Unagi (Eel) Sauce
  • 1 tablespoon Spicy Mayo(optional)
  • 1 tablespoon Tobiko (Flying fish roe)(optional)
  • 1 teaspoon Toasted Sesame Seeds
  • 1 serving Pickled Ginger and Wasabi

Instructions

  1. 1

    Place a half sheet of nori on a bamboo rolling mat covered with plastic wrap.

  2. 2

    Spread 1 cup of sushi rice evenly over the nori, leaving no gap at the edges.

  3. 3

    Flip the nori over so the rice is facing down on the plastic-covered mat.

  4. 4

    Place 2 shrimp tempura and several cucumber strips horizontally across the center of the nori.

  5. 5

    Roll the bamboo mat tightly from the bottom up to create a uniform cylinder.

  6. 6

    Thinly slice the avocado and layer the slices overlapping across the top of the roll to look like scales.

  7. 7

    Place the bamboo mat back over the avocado-topped roll and squeeze gently to adhere the avocado to the rice.

  8. 8

    Slice the roll into 8 equal pieces using a very sharp, wet knife and drizzle with unagi sauce and sesame seeds.
