Ingredients
  

For the Rice
  • 1 cup uncooked sushi rice
  • 1.5 cups water (for cooking rice)
  • 2 tablespoons rice vinegar
  • 1 tablespoon sugar
  • 0.5 teaspoon salt
For the Roll Filling
  • 4 sheets nori seaweed
  • 0.5 cup cooked salmon, flaked (or sushi-grade salmon, thinly sliced, handled with care)
  • 1 ripe avocado, thinly sliced
For the Breading
  • 1 cup panko breadcrumbs
  • 0.5 cup all-purpose flour
  • 2 large eggs, whisked
  • 4 cups vegetable oil (for frying)
For the Dipping Sauce
  • 0.5 cup mayonnaise
  • 2 tablespoons sriracha sauce (adjust to taste)
  • 0.25 cup sweet soy glaze (like eel sauce)
  • Soy sauce (for serving)

Equipment

  • Rice Cooker
  • Frying Pan

Method
 

  1. Rinse the sushi rice under cold water until the water runs clear. Combine rice and water in a rice cooker and cook according to the manufacturer's instructions.
  2. Once the rice is cooked, transfer it to a bowl. Mix in rice vinegar, sugar, and salt. Allow it to cool slightly.
  3. Lay a sheet of nori on a bamboo mat. Spread a thin layer of rice over the nori, leaving a 1-inch border at the top.
  4. Add a line of salmon and avocado along the bottom edge of the rice-covered nori. Roll it tightly from the bottom up using the mat to help.
  5. Cut the roll into bite-sized pieces. Repeat with the remaining ingredients.
  6. Set up a breading station with flour, eggs, and panko breadcrumbs. Dip each roll in flour, then in eggs, and finally coat with panko.
  7. Heat vegetable oil in a frying pan over medium heat. Fry the rolls until golden brown on all sides, about 3-4 minutes per side.
  8. Drain on paper towels and serve warm with mayonnaise mixed with sriracha, sweet soy glaze, and soy sauce.

Notes

For a twist, try adding cucumber or cream cheese to the filling.
