Instructions
Sushi Rice
- Cook sushi rice according to the package instructions. Once cooked, add rice vinegar(mixed with sugar) and allow to cool down slightly.
Shrimp tempura
- Preheat your oven to 450F|235C. Bake the frozen pre-cooked shrimp tempura for 10-15 minutes (depends on the size of the shrimp). Keep aside.
Crunchy topping
- Meanwhile, heat oil in a medium skillet over medium heat.
- Add the panko bread crumbs and cook for 2-3 minutes until golden, stirring constantly. Allow to cool completely.
California Sushi Rolls
- Cover the bamboo mat with plastic wrap to prevent rice from sticking.
- Place the nori on the mat, shiny side down.
- Spread about 3/4 cup of cooked rice over the nori evenly. Keep a bowl filled with water to dip your hands when you are working with rice.
- Flip it over so the rice is facing down.
- Place 2 pieces of shrimp tempura and 2 slices of avocado on the nori. Roll it up tightly. Remove the plastic wrap. Repeat with the remaining nori sheets.
- Place the panko bread crumbs on sushi mat, covered with plastic. Roll each sushi roll in the toasted breadcrumbs. Remove the plastic and slice sushi using a sharp knife.
- Serve and enjoy!
