Tempura Sushi
(Step-by-Step)
with
Kitten
~A Japanese Addiction~
To
make this possible, you need:
1 cup of Japanese Rice
1 cup of water
Roasted Seaweed
Tempura mix (you can make your
own home-made version -
google the recipe! lol)
Fresh Skinned Prawns
Cooking oil
Cucumbers (cut into long
strips)
Sushi rice vinegar
Japanese Soya Sauce
Sushi rolling mat
Method
First prepare your one cup of
Japanese rice with one cup of water
(You must use Japanese rice only-
see pic)
Wash the rice first until the
water is clear & the rice is well-cleaned
Put the 1 cup of cleaned rice
with 1 cup water..
notice that the water barely
covers the surface..
Put on fire till it starts
boiling.. let it boil for a min..
then put the fire into very low..
cover the pan..
& let cook for 20 mins covered..
Next bring out your tempura mix
flour..
(If you live in AD, most of these japanesey stuff you can
find in Abela or the Meena
Co-op) =P
Mix one cup of tempura flour with
3/4 cup of water..
Have the fresh prawns ready to
be dipped into the already-mixed
tempura batter..
Dip the prawns into the tempura
batter until completely covered..
Then deep fry the tempura prawns
until golden brown..
In the mean time.. after the 20
mins being covered & cooked on low fire..
take the rice out, add a
tablespoon of sushi rice vinegar
& cover to cool down for 10 mins..
take out the roasted seaweed &
sushi rolling mat..
Take out one sheet of the
roasted seaweed & place on mat..
Next cover the sheet with the
cooked rice..
(the rice will be really
sticky.. so use chopsticks to spread it out easier)
At only one corner, line the
cooked tempura prawns & cucumbers..
Using the sushi mat, roll the
sushi into a perfect cylinder..
Finally cut the cylinder into
equal circle & serve
along with Japanese soy sauce on
the side..
For you to avoid making my 1st
mistake.. this is how the
Japanese soy sauce looks like..
Yes there's a difference
between this & the Chinese soy
sauce which tastes
more salty & bitter than this
one..
Bon Appetite!!
=D
