Ingredients

• 1 cup Sushi rice
• 1.25 cups Water
• 2 tablespoons Rice vinegar
• 1 tablespoon Sugar
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 4 large pieces Tempura shrimp
• 2 full sheets Nori sheets
• 0.5 medium Cucumber
• 1 medium Avocado
• 2 tablespoons Spicy mayo
• 2 tablespoons Soy sauce
• 1 tablespoon Sesame seeds

Directions

Step 1

Rinse the sushi rice under cold water until the water runs clear. Combine with 1.25 cups of water in a rice cooker and cook according to manufacturer's instructions.

Step 2

Mix the rice vinegar, sugar, and salt in a small bowl. Once the rice is done, transfer to a large bowl and gently stir in the vinegar mixture until well combined. Allow to cool to room temperature.

Step 3

Prepare the cucumber by slicing it into thin strips. Peel and slice the avocado into similar-sized strips.

Step 4

Lay down a bamboo sushi mat on a clean working surface. Place one nori sheet, shiny side down, onto the mat.

Step 5

With wet hands, spread an even layer of sushi rice over the nori, leaving a 1-inch border at the top edge.

Step 6

Sprinkle a thin layer of sesame seeds over the rice.

Step 7

Flip the nori sheet over so the rice is facing down on the mat.

Step 8

Place two pieces of tempura shrimp, some cucumber strips, and avocado slices across the center of the nori, parallel to the edge of your rolling mat.

Step 9

Add a line of spicy mayo across the filling.

Step 10

Starting with the edge closest to you, lift the mat over the filling and gently roll into a tight cylinder. Use the mat to firmly shape and seal the roll.

Step 11

Repeat the process with the second nori sheet.

Step 12

Using a sharp knife, slice each roll into 8 even pieces, wiping the knife with a damp towel between cuts to ensure clean slices.

Step 13

Serve the Dynamite Rolls with soy sauce on the side for dipping.
