Sushi Rice:

  1. Add water and rice to a large pot on high heat and bring water to a boil.

  3. Carefully remove cooked rice from pot into a large bowl.
  4. Mix together rice vinegar, sugar, and salt.
  5. Using a rice paddle or large spoon add in the rice vinegar evenly, cutting it in (do not excessively stir).
  6. Let cool for 20-30 minutes before using sushi rice.

Shrimp Tempura:

  1. Set a pot of oil (3 inches deep) on medium high until it reaches 375 degrees.
  2. Whisk the flour, cornstarch baking powder, kosher salt, and white pepper in a bowl together.
  3. Dredge the shrimp lightly in the mixture and set aside.
  4. Add in the club soda and whisk, then dip the shrimp in the batter before carefully frying in the oil for 2-3 minutes or until golden brown.

Dragon Roll:

  3. Put the nori sheet rice side down on the rolling mat.
  4. Add two pieces of shrimp to the roll, unagi (if using) and cucumber sticks.
