Ingredients

  • 2 cups cooked sushi rice
  • 4 sheets nori sheets
  • 1 medium avocado
  • 8 pieces tempura shrimp
  • 3 tbsp spicy mayo
  • 1 tbsp sesame seeds

Instructions

  1. 1

    Place 1 nori sheet on a bamboo mat or clean surface. Wet your hands and spread 1/2 cup sushi rice evenly over the nori, leaving a 1 inch strip at the top edge.

  2. 2

    Slice 1/2 avocado into thin strips and lay 2 tempura shrimp across the center of the rice. Drizzle 1 tsp spicy mayo over the filling.

  3. 3

    Lift the mat from the bottom and roll tightly over the filling, pressing gently to seal. Moisten the top edge with water to close the roll.

  4. 4

    Repeat with remaining ingredients to make 4 rolls. Slice each roll into 6 pieces with a sharp knife, wiping the blade between cuts.

  5. 5

    Drizzle the remaining spicy mayo over the rolls and sprinkle with 1 tbsp sesame seeds. Serve with wasabi and pickled ginger if desired.
