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!
