Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups short-grain sushi rice
- 4 nori sheets
- 1 medium cucumber, julienned
- 1 ripe avocado, sliced
- 8 tempura battered shrimp (store-bought or homemade)
- 3 tbsp low-sodium soy sauce
- 2 tbsp mayonnaise
- 1 tbsp sriracha
Instructions
- Rinse the sushi rice under cold water until clear. Cook according to package instructions or use a rice cooker until fluffy and sticky.
- While the rice cooks, prepare the cucumber, avocado, and tempura shrimp as needed.
- Lay a nori sheet shiny side down on a bamboo mat. Wet your hands to prevent sticking and spread an even layer of rice over the nori, leaving one inch at the top edge.
- Place cucumber, avocado, and tempura shrimp horizontally across the center of the rice-covered nori.
- Starting from the edge closest to you, roll the mat tightly but gently over the fillings until you reach the exposed edge of nori; wet it lightly to seal.
- Slice into bite-sized pieces using a sharp knife dipped in water. Serve with soy sauce and spicy mayo.
