Yield 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 22

¼ cup sugar
1 tablespoon salt
1 cup rice vinegar
4 cups short grain rice, cooked, hot
8 sheets nori, divided
½ lb shrimp, peeled and deveined
¾ cup all-purpose flour
¼ cup cornstarch
1 teaspoon baking powder
1 teaspoon salt
1 egg
¾ cup ice water
canola oil, for frying
salt, to taste
1 avocado, sliced, divided
6 oz imitation crab, 1 can
1 english cucumber, thinly sliced, divided
½ cup whipped cream cheese
4 oz smoked salmon, 1 package
teriyaki sauce
spicy mayonnaise

Steps:

  • In a bowl, add the sugar, salt, and vinegar, and stir to combine. Microwave for 2 minutes, or until the sugar has dissolved.
  • Transfer the rice onto a serving bowl and pour the vinegar mixture over the rice.
  • Using a spatula fold in the vinegar into the rice. Have another person fan the rice while mixing to get it down to room temperature.
  • Lay 4 sheets of nori onto two sheet pans. Spread half the rice mixture onto the nori on one sheet pan in an even layer. Repeat with the remaining sheet pan.
  • Refrigerate uncovered for 30 minutes to an hour.
  • In a bowl, whisk the flour, cornstarch, baking powder, salt, and egg until smooth.
  • Slowly add the ice water in a steady stream whisking until just mixed.
  • Dip the shrimp in the batter until fully coated.
  • Heat a large pot of oil to 350˚F (180˚C).
  • Add shrimp to the pot and fry until golden brown, about 2 minutes. Transfer the shrimp to a wire rack to drain. Repeat with remaining shrimp.
  • Once cool, season the shrimp with salt to taste.
  • Remove the sheet pans with rice from the refrigerator. Place the first sheet of nori and rice onto a cutting board.
  • Mentally divide the rice sheet into fourths. On one fourth, place a layer of cucumber, a layer of avocado, and top with the crab.
  • On another fourth, place the sliced avocado and top with the shrimp tempura.
  • On another fourth, spread a layer of the cream cheese, then top with smoked salmon and a layer of avocado.
  • On the last fourth add a layer of cucumber and avocado.
  • Gently invert the other sheet tray with rice onto the sheet tray with toppings, so that the edges are even.
  • Cut the sushi into 16 even squares.
  • Serve with teriyaki sauce, spicy mayonnaise, and soy sauce.
  • Enjoy!

Yield Serves 2

Number Of Ingredients 7

3 pieces of whole wheat sandwich bread
1 can of tuna (i use albacore in water)
1 teaspoon capers, chopped
1 tablespoon mayonnaise (plus more for spreading on the bread)
1/2 teaspoon dijon mustard
1 cucumber, cut into long, thin sticks
1 carrot, grated

Steps:

  • Cut the crusts off of each slice of bread and roll out as thin as possible with a rolling pin.
  • Place the tuna, capers, mayonnaise and dijon mustard in a bowl and stir to combine.
  • Place the long side of the rolled out bread closest to you.
  • Spread a thin layer of mayonnaise on each slice of rolled out bread.
  • Thinly spread 1/3 of the tuna mixture onto half of the bread lengthwise.
  • On top of the tuna mixture, arrange some of the cucumber sticks and grated carrot making sure not too over stuff the roll (a little goes a long way).
  • Starting at the side closest to you (the filled end) tightly roll the tuna/cucumber/carrot mixture up and press to seal into a roll (I dab a bit of mayonnaise across the end of the roll to act as a glue sealing the roll).
  • Cut the roll into 4 even pieces and repeat with remaining bread and tuna mixture.

Tips:

  • Use the freshest ingredients possible. This will make a big difference in the flavor and quality of your sushi sandwiches.
  • Choose high-quality sushi rice. Sushi rice is specially designed to absorb moisture and hold its shape, making it ideal for sushi sandwiches.
  • Cook the sushi rice according to the package directions. It is important to cook the rice properly so that it is the right consistency for sushi sandwiches.
  • Let the sushi rice cool completely before assembling the sandwiches. This will help to prevent the rice from becoming mushy.
  • Use a variety of fillings and toppings. The possibilities are endless! Some popular fillings include cucumber, avocado, salmon, tuna, and shrimp. Some popular toppings include seaweed salad, masago, and tempura flakes.
  • Be creative with your presentation. Sushi sandwiches can be served in a variety of ways. Get creative and have fun with it!

Conclusion:

Sushi sandwiches are a delicious and versatile dish that can be enjoyed by people of all ages. They are perfect for a quick and easy lunch or dinner, or for a special occasion. With a little creativity, you can create sushi sandwiches that are sure to impress your friends and family.
