Tempura Shrimp Roll
Created by: Howcan Team
Ingredients
- 1 cup sushi rice
- 4 sheets nori seaweed
- 12 large shrimp, peeled and deveined
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 cup ice-cold water
- 1 egg
- 1/4 cup cornstarch
- 1/4 cup soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons rice vinegar
- 1 tablespoon sugar
- 1 teaspoon grated ginger
- Vegetable oil for frying
- Sesame seeds and sliced green onions for garnish
Instructions
- Cook the sushi rice according to package instructions and let it cool.
- Lay a sheet of nori on a bamboo sushi mat, wet your hands, and spread a thin layer of rice over the nori, leaving a 1-inch border at the top.
- Place 3 shrimp in a row at the bottom of the nori sheet, then roll it up tightly using the bamboo mat. Repeat with the remaining nori and ingredients.
- In a deep pot, heat vegetable oil to 350°F (180°C).
- In a bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, ice-cold water, egg, and cornstarch until just combined. Do not overmix.
- Dip each shrimp roll into the tempura batter, allowing any excess to drip off, then carefully place it into the hot oil. Fry until golden brown and crispy, about 2-3 minutes per side. Drain on a paper towel-lined plate.
- In a small saucepan, combine soy sauce, rice vinegar, sugar, and grated ginger. Heat over medium heat until the sugar dissolves, then remove from heat.
- Slice the tempura shrimp rolls into bite-sized pieces, sprinkle with sesame seeds and sliced green onions, and serve with the dipping sauce.
- Enjoy your delicious tempura shrimp rolls!
