Number Of Ingredients 22

¼ cup sugar
1 tablespoon salt
1 cup rice vinegar
4 cups short grain rice, cooked, hot
8 sheets nori, divided
½ lb shrimp, peeled and deveined
¾ cup all-purpose flour
¼ cup cornstarch
1 teaspoon baking powder
1 teaspoon salt
1 egg
¾ cup ice water
canola oil, for frying

1 avocado, sliced, divided
6 oz imitation crab, 1 can
1 english cucumber, thinly sliced, divided
½ cup whipped cream cheese
4 oz smoked salmon, 1 package

Steps:

  • In a bowl, add the sugar, salt, and vinegar, and stir to combine. Microwave for 2 minutes, or until the sugar has dissolved.
  • Transfer the rice onto a serving bowl and pour the vinegar mixture over the rice.
  • Using a spatula fold in the vinegar into the rice. Have another person fan the rice while mixing to get it down to room temperature.
  • Lay 4 sheets of nori onto two sheet pans. Spread half the rice mixture onto the nori on one sheet pan in an even layer. Repeat with the remaining sheet pan.
  • Refrigerate uncovered for 30 minutes to an hour.
  • In a bowl, whisk the flour, cornstarch, baking powder, salt, and egg until smooth.
  • Slowly add the ice water in a steady stream whisking until just mixed.
  • Dip the shrimp in the batter until fully coated.
  • Heat a large pot of oil to 350˚F (180˚C).
  • Add shrimp to the pot and fry until golden brown, about 2 minutes. Transfer the shrimp to a wire rack to drain. Repeat with remaining shrimp.
  • Once cool, season the shrimp with salt to taste.
  • Remove the sheet pans with rice from the refrigerator. Place the first sheet of nori and rice onto a cutting board.
  • Mentally divide the rice sheet into fourths. On one fourth, place a layer of cucumber, a layer of avocado, and top with the crab.
  • On another fourth, place the sliced avocado and top with the shrimp tempura.
  • On another fourth, spread a layer of the cream cheese, then top with smoked salmon and a layer of avocado.
  • On the last fourth add a layer of cucumber and avocado.
  • Gently invert the other sheet tray with rice onto the sheet tray with toppings, so that the edges are even.
  • Cut the sushi into 16 even squares.
  • Serve with teriyaki sauce, spicy mayonnaise, and soy sauce.
  • Enjoy!
