Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Prepare Shrimp Tempura: Mix the tempura batter according to package instructions, adding ice-cold water until slightly lumpy. Heat vegetable oil to 350°F (175°C). Dip shrimp in batter and fry for 2-3 minutes until golden brown. Drain on paper towels.
  2. Assemble Sushi Rolls: Lay a bamboo mat on your countertop and place a sheet of nori on top. Spread cooked sushi rice over the nori, leaving a 1-inch border at the top. Arrange crispy shrimp tempura, avocado, and cucumber on rice.
  3. Roll the Sushi: Lift the closest edge of the bamboo mat and roll away from you, applying pressure to shape the sushi roll. Seal the edge with a little water. Ensure the roll is tight but not overly compressed.
  4. Slice and Serve: Cut the roll into 8 equal pieces using a sharp, damp knife. Arrange on a platter and serve with soy sauce, pickled ginger, and wasabi for dipping.
