Cooking method

Cooking time: 50 min

Step 1:

How do you make tempura rolls at home? Gather all the ingredients listed. For the filling, use lightly salted salmon, trout, or pink salmon. Avocado pairs beautifully with everything here, so use it too if you can.
Step 2:

Pour the rice vinegar into a small deep bowl, add the sugar, and stir well until the sugar fully dissolves.
Step 3:

Rinse the rice in clean cold water. Put it in a pot, cover with water, salt to taste, and cook until fully done, 12–15 minutes. Stir the vinegar into the cooked rice and let it sit for about 20 minutes to cool.
Step 4:

Spread a rolling mat on a flat surface. Lay a sheet of nori on top, smooth side down.
Step 5:

Spread the cooked rice in an even, not-too-thick layer, leaving about 3/4 inch (2 cm) bare along one edge of the nori.
Step 6:

On top of the rice, lay cream cheese, pieces of salmon, and cucumber cut into thin strips. Dampen the bare strip of nori with cold water using your fingers.
Step 7:

Gently start rolling the mat from the bottom up, as in the photo.
Step 8:

Form the roll, making it as tight as you can.
Step 9:

Beat the egg with a whisk or fork until smooth and pour it onto a flat plate. Put the breadcrumbs on another plate.
Step 10:

Cut the roll in half so it's easier to fry. Roll it first in the beaten egg.
Step 11:

Then in the breadcrumbs.
Step 12:

Heat the vegetable oil in a deep-sided skillet. Add the rolls and fry, turning, until golden on all sides.
Step 13:

While the rolls are still warm, slice them into pieces and serve right away.

Serve the hot rolls with soy sauce, pickled ginger, and wasabi. Tempura rolls are a great choice for a romantic, light dinner for two. Enjoy!
How do you tell if an egg is fresh? Crack it into a separate bowl. First, there should be no off smell. The white of a fresh egg is clear and clean. The yolk shouldn't spread — it stays shiny, domed, and uniform.
Use an oil with a high smoke point for frying! Every oil is good only up to a certain temperature — its smoke point, beyond which it starts to burn and form toxic compounds, including carcinogens. Unrefined oils, with rare exceptions, have a low smoke point: they're full of unfiltered organic particles that scorch quickly. Refined oils handle heat better and have a higher smoke point. If you're cooking in the oven, in a pan, or on the grill, make sure you use a high-smoke-point oil. The most common ones: refined sunflower, olive, and grapeseed.
