Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup Sushi rice
- 1.25 cups Water
- 2 tablespoons Rice vinegar
- 1 tablespoon Sugar
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 4 large pieces Tempura shrimp
- 2 full sheets Nori sheets
- 0.5 medium Cucumber
- 1 medium Avocado
- 2 tablespoons Spicy mayo
- 2 tablespoons Soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon Sesame seeds
Instructions
Rinse the sushi rice under cold water until the water runs clear. Combine with 1.25 cups of water in a rice cooker and cook according to manufacturer's instructions.
Mix the rice vinegar, sugar, and salt in a small bowl. Once the rice is done, transfer to a large bowl and gently stir in the vinegar mixture until well combined. Allow to cool to room temperature.
Prepare the cucumber by slicing it into thin strips. Peel and slice the avocado into similar-sized strips.
Lay down a bamboo sushi mat on a clean working surface. Place one nori sheet, shiny side down, onto the mat.
With wet hands, spread an even layer of sushi rice over the nori, leaving a 1-inch border at the top edge.
Sprinkle a thin layer of sesame seeds over the rice.
Flip the nori sheet over so the rice is facing down on the mat.
Place two pieces of tempura shrimp, some cucumber strips, and avocado slices across the center of the nori, parallel to the edge of your rolling mat.
Add a line of spicy mayo across the filling.
Starting with the edge closest to you, lift the mat over the filling and gently roll into a tight cylinder. Use the mat to firmly shape and seal the roll.
Repeat the process with the second nori sheet.
Using a sharp knife, slice each roll into 8 even pieces, wiping the knife with a damp towel between cuts to ensure clean slices.
Serve the Dynamite Rolls with soy sauce on the side for dipping.
