Making the Dynamite Roll

  • Make the sushi rice according to the recipe. Let it cool.
  • Finely chop the imitation crab meat and mix it with Japanese mayonnaise. Set aside.
  • Wrap the bamboo sushi mat in plastic wrap for easy cleanup.
  • Place a sheet of toasted nori on the sushi mat and cut off ¼ of it.
  • Wet your hands, grab a handful of rice, and spread it evenly on the seaweed.
  • Sprinkle toasted white and black sesame seeds on top of the rice, then flip the sheet over.
  • In the middle of the seaweed, add the crab mixture, cucumber strips, avocado slices, and tempura shrimp.
  • While rolling with the sushi mat, compress the filling slightly, keeping the roll tight.
  • Place the sushi roll on a cutting board and cut into 8 pieces using a sharp wet knife.
  • Top with spicy mayo and unagi sauce, and serve with soy sauce and wasabi.

Notes

Trim the nori sheets for better proportions. Press the rice gently to avoid a mash. Keep hands wet to prevent sticking. Straighten the shrimp before frying to avoid curling.
