MAKES 4 PIECES

Ingredients:

1 cup vegetable oil, for frying
½ nori sheet
2⁄3 cup sushi rice
1 ounce (30 grams) mozzarella, sliced
¼ avocado, sliced
2 ounces (60 grams) salmon, sliced
1 tablespoon sesame seeds
3½ ounces (100 grams) tempura powder
Very cold water
1 tablespoon grated carrot, for garnish
1 tablespoon grated cucumber, for garnish
Wasabi paste, for serving
Gari (pickled ginger), for serving
Soy sauce, for serving

Method:
1. Heat the oil in a deep frying pan until it is about 365°F.

2. Place the nori sheet on your work surface and arrange the rice evenly on top.

3. Build a wall of rice along the edge of one half of the nori. This wall should be about ½ inch wide and ¾ inch high.

4. Arrange the mozzarella and avocado slices on this part of the rice (Fig. a).

5. Arrange the salmon slices on top and then sprinkle with sesame seeds.

6. Fold the half of the nori that doesn’t have any toppings over the half with toppings (Fig. b).

7. Place the folded sushi on a bamboo sushi mat, wrap the mat around the sushi and press firmly on all sides, to tighten.

8. Pour the tempura powder onto your work surface. Dip the folded sushi into the powder so that it is coated on all sides.

9. Remove the sushi and set aside. Transfer the tempura powder that’s left on your work surface to a mixing bowl and add an equal amount of very cold water. Mix lightly but not too much the batter should be lumpy (Fig. c). Dip the sushi into the tempura batter and then place it gently in the hot oil. Deep-fry for about 3 minutes, until crispy.

10. Transfer the tempura sushi to a wire rack to drain off the oil and then place on a plate lined with paper towels. Cut on a diagonal to make 4 triangular pieces (Fig. d).

11. Garnish the plate with grated carrot and cucumber. Serve with wasabi, gari and soy sauce.
