- 1/2 cup of rice vinegar
- 2 tablespoons of sugar
- 1 teaspoon of salt
- 1 cup of tempura batter mix
- 1 cup of ice-cold water
- 1/2 pound of shrimp, deveined and peeled
- 1/2 cup of all-purpose flour
- 1 egg, beaten
- 1 cup of panko breadcrumbs

Instructions
- Cook the sushi rice according to package instructions. In a small bowl, mix the rice vinegar, sugar, and salt. Once the rice is cooked, gently fold in the vinegar mixture and let it cool.
- Prepare the tempura batter by combining the tempura batter mix with ice-cold water. Do not overmix, leaving some lumps for a crispy texture.
- Dip the shrimp in the all-purpose flour, then in the beaten egg, and finally in the panko breadcrumbs, ensuring they are fully coated.
- Heat the vegetable oil in a deep pan or fryer to 350°F (180°C). Carefully place the breaded shrimp in the hot oil and fry until golden brown and crispy. Remove and drain on a paper towel.
- Lay a sheet of nori on a bamboo sushi mat. Wet your hands and spread a thin layer of sushi rice over the nori, leaving a small border at the top.
- Place the crispy shrimp in the center of the rice and carefully roll the sushi using the bamboo mat, applying gentle pressure to shape it into a tight cylinder.
- Slice the tempura roll into 6-8 pieces using a sharp knife, wiping it clean between cuts to ensure a clean edge.
- Serve the tempura roll with soy sauce, pickled ginger, and wasabi. Enjoy your delicious homemade tempura roll!
