Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 200 grams Short-grain sushi rice
- 2 tablespoons Rice vinegar
- 1 tablespoon Sugar
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 12 pieces Cooked shrimp (peeled, deveined, and tails removed)
- 3 large sheets Nori (seaweed sheets)
- 2 tablespoons Mayonnaise
- 1 teaspoon Sriracha
- 0.5 medium-sized Cucumber
- 1 medium Avocado
- 1 tablespoon Sesame seeds
- 2 tablespoons Soy sauce (for serving)
- 1 tablespoon Pickled ginger (for garnish)
- 1 teaspoon Wasabi (optional)
Instructions
Rinse the sushi rice until the water runs clear. Cook the rice according to the package instructions, using a rice cooker or stovetop.
While the rice is cooking, mix the rice vinegar, sugar, and salt in a small bowl. Heat the mixture in the microwave for 20 seconds until the sugar and salt dissolve.
Once the rice is cooked, transfer it to a large bowl and gently fold in the vinegar mixture. Let the rice cool to room temperature.
Prepare the fillings: Dice the cucumber into small pieces, slice the avocado thinly, and chop the cooked shrimp into bite-sized chunks.
Mix mayonnaise and sriracha in a small bowl to create a spicy mayo sauce.
Cut the nori sheets into 4 equal strips lengthwise to form long rectangles.
Wet your hands with water to prevent sticking, then shape a small ball of rice (about 1 to 2 tablespoons) into an oval shape. Place it onto the center of a nori strip.
Wrap the nori strip around the rice ball, leaving the top open. Use a small dab of rice at the edge of the nori to seal the strip in place and form a 'battleship' shape.
Fill the open top of each gunkanmaki with diced shrimp, cucumber, avocado slices, and a drizzle of spicy mayo.
Sprinkle sesame seeds over the top for extra flavor and garnish with a small amount of pickled ginger or wasabi, if desired.
Repeat the process with the remaining ingredients until all gunkanmaki are assembled.
Serve the shrimp gunkanmaki with soy sauce on the side for dipping. Enjoy immediately for the freshest flavors!
