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!

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.
