Open recipe

Open recipe
Shrimp Tempura Roll
Shrimp tempura roll should keep the fried shrimp’s edge while giving it a soft rice surround. The shrimp is straightened with shallow belly scores, then cooked in a light batter.
Open recipe
Spicy Tuna Roll
Spicy tuna roll should still taste of tuna. A modest amount of mayonnaise and chile sauce binds the finely chopped fish without turning it into a sauce filling.
Open recipe
