Ingredients
- ¾ cup rice flour
- 2 tsp cornstarch
- 1 cup + 2 Tbsp sparkling water
- ¼ tsp sea salt
- 4 sheets of toasted nori
- 2 cups cooked sushi rice
- 1 large cooked chicken breast sliced or shredded
- 1 small cucumber sliced thinly lengthwise into sticks
- 1 small avocado pitted, peeled, and sliced
- vegetable oil for frying canola, grapeseed, or avocado
- Pickled ginger for serving
- Wasabi paste for serving
- Soy sauce or tamari for serving
Instructions
- All ingredients ready? Let's begin!
- In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, cornstarch, sparkling water, and salt. Set aside
- Line your bamboo sushi mat with plastic wrap. Place one sheet of nori, shiny side facing down at the top edge of the mat.
- Spread 1/2 cup of rice on the top 2/3 of the nori, using wet fingers to press it down.
- Layer 1/4 of the chicken across the rice, approximately 1-inch from the side closest to you. Place a layer of 1/4 of the cucumber next to the chicken. Follow that with a layer of 1/4 of the avocado slices.
- Starting at the full end, carefully roll the nori over the filling with the aid of the mat. Continue to roll tightly until all the filling is rolled up. Dampen the lower edge of the nori without rice with water or soy sauce. Continue to roll and press the damp end over the rest of the roll.
- Set the roll aside, seam side down, and make the other 3.
- In a large sauté pan over medium-high heat, warm 1/3 cup of oil.
- Dip the sushi rolls in the tempura batter to coat them evenly.
- Add the rolls to the skillet and cook until golden and crisp, turning the rolls a few times to cook all surfaces. This will take about 4 to 6 minutes if the oil is hot enough.
- Transfer the tempura rolls to a clean cutting board and slice them into pieces with a very sharp chef’s knife or a specialty serrated knife.
- Place the rolls on serving plates and enjoy with pickled ginger, wasabi, and soy or tamari sauce for dipping. Eat while still warm and crisp.
