Description

Imagine sinking your teeth into a sushi roll that delivers a delightful crunch, followed by a burst of savory flavors. This reimagined sushi roll offers a unique twist on the classic shrimp tempura roll, taking inspiration from the adventurous spirit of its namesake. Instead of the traditional deep-frying method, this recipe utilizes an air fryer to achieve a satisfyingly crispy exterior without the need for excessive oil.

The process begins by creating a fresh and flavorful California-style roll. Sweet and succulent crab replaces the rice, offering a lighter alternative while still delivering that signature sushi taste. Once the roll is carefully constructed and sliced into individual pieces, the magic truly begins.

Each piece is then gently coated in a meticulously crafted breading, combining the subtle nuttiness of almond flour with the umami-rich flavors of Japanese Furikake seasoning and the delicate crunch of sesame seeds. The Furikake seasoning, a Japanese staple, elevates the flavor profile with its blend of seaweed, sesame seeds, and a hint of salt, adding layers of complexity to each bite. Finally, the breaded sushi is carefully placed in the air fryer, where it transforms into a golden-brown masterpiece.

The result is a warm, crispy, and utterly irresistible sushi roll that is both satisfying and surprisingly light. This crispy sushi roll makes a wonderful meal on its own, providing a balanced combination of textures and flavors. For a more substantial meal, consider halving each roll and pairing it with a complementary side dish.

To enhance the richness and add a touch of spice, consider drizzling a creamy and vibrant spicy mayo sauce over the top. The combination of the cool, tangy sauce with the warm, crispy sushi is a true culinary delight. Whether enjoyed as a snack, appetizer, or main course, this crispy sushi roll is sure to impress.

The combination of fresh, flavorful ingredients, a unique cooking method, and a touch of Japanese flair makes this dish a memorable and enjoyable experience for any sushi lover.

Instructions

    1.
    Prepare the cucumber by using a vegetable peeler to peel full-length slices from a whole piece. For reference, 1 ounce of cucumber will be about 10 slices. Arrange the slices in single layers between paper towels, and press down on the paper towels to absorb excess water. When the cucumber slices no longer feel wet, weigh the slices to yield the amount listed in the ingredients. You may discard any remaining cucumber slices or use them for another recipe.
    2.
    Lay a sheet of roasted seaweed (also called nori) on a clean, dry surface. Arrange the cucumber slices across the sheet of nori in a single layer. If necessary, you can cut the cucumber slices in half so you can arrange all the cucumber to fit within the sheet of nori. In a separate mixing bowl, combine lump crab and Sriracha. Mix the ingredients until the crab is coated in Sriracha. At your discretion, you may season the crab to your liking. Remember, however, that sushi is meant to taste fresh and simple.
    3.
    Arrange the seasoned lump crab in a strip across the edge of nori nearest you. You can gently pack the crab down so it s easier to roll the sushi later. Slice fresh avocado into thin slices and arrange them in a row alongside the crab. Next, cut cold cream cheese into thin strips and line up the strips end-to-end across the crab. If your cream cheese is warm, you won t be able to have the clean cuts that are needed.
    4.
    Begin rolling the sushi up, starting at the end with all the filling. You may use a knife or other utensil to help you lift the edge of the nori up and fold over the filling to begin the roll. You can use your hands or a sushi-making tool to roll the sushi up into a tight roll, rolling the seam underneath at the end. Make sure your hands are clean and dry or else the delicate nori may tear. Use a super-sharp knife to cut each sushi roll into 6 pieces.
    5.
    Now, you can turn on your air fryer to preheat to 375 degrees. Create your fryer breading by combining almond flour, Furikake seasoning, and sesame seeds on a clean plate. For the sake of ensuring you coat your sushi properly, you may want to increase the amount of fry breading you make. Next, you need to wet your sushi so the breading sticks. The best way to do this is to fill a clean spraying device with water and gently mist the nori that s wrapped around your sushi. If you don have these resources available, continue onto the next step.
    6.
    Wet the sushi by briefly dipping the nori wrapped on the outside of each piece in cold water and immediately rolling it in your fryer breading. Allow a light coating of breading to stick all around the nori as well on each open side of the sushi. Arrange all the breaded sushi pieces on your air fryer tray. Cook the sushi for 5-10 minutes, starting with 5 minutes and building on time. To check for doneness, the breading will be a very light golden color and the edges of the sushi pieces will have a crispy texture. Serve warm.
