Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 12 pieces vegan shrimp
- 4 sheets nori sheets
- 2 cups sushi rice
- 3 tablespoons rice vinegar
- 1 tablespoon sugar
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 cup cold sparkling water
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 whole avocado
- 1 small cucumber
- 2 cups vegetable oil
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce
- 1 teaspoon wasabi paste
- 2 tablespoons pickled ginger
Instructions
Cook the sushi rice according to package instructions. Once cooked, mix in the rice vinegar, sugar, and salt while the rice is still warm. Stir gently to combine and set aside to cool to room temperature.
Slice the avocado and cucumber into long, thin strips. Set aside.
In a bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, cold sparkling water, and baking soda to form a tempura batter.
Heat vegetable oil in a deep pan over medium-high heat. Dip each piece of vegan shrimp into the tempura batter, ensuring it is fully coated, and carefully place it into the hot oil. Fry until golden brown and crispy, about 2-3 minutes per side. Remove from oil and drain on paper towels.
Lay a sheet of nori, shiny side down, on a bamboo sushi mat. With wet fingers to prevent sticking, spread about 1/2 cup of seasoned sushi rice evenly over the nori, leaving a 1-inch border along the top edge.
Arrange 3 pieces of tempura shrimp, avocado, and cucumber strips in a line across the middle of the rice.
Using the bamboo mat, carefully roll the sushi away from you, applying gentle pressure to form a tight roll. Seal the edge with a little water if necessary.
Repeat with the remaining ingredients to make three more rolls.
With a sharp knife, cut each roll into 8 pieces, wiping the blade with a damp cloth between cuts to ensure clean slices.
Serve the vegan shrimp tempura rolls with soy sauce, wasabi paste, and pickled ginger.
