For the Fried Sushi Rolls:

  • 1 tbsp. Rice Vinegar
  • 2 tsp. Soy Sauce low sodium
  • 3-5 Sushi Nori Seaweed Wraps
  • 1 Carrot thinly sliced
  • 1 Avocado thinly sliced
  • 1 cup Flour
  • 1 tsp. Smoked Paprika
  • 1 ½ cups Fine Breadcrumbs
  • 2 large Eggs beaten
  • 1-2 cups Neutral Frying Oil

For the Dipping Sauce:

  • 1 cup Plain Greek Yogurt
  • ¼ cup Mayo
  • 1 tbsp. Sriracha

Instructions

  • To Make the Spicy Tuna: Combine all ingredients into a large bowl. Mash with a fork until very well combined.
  • For the Sushi Rice: Combine the cooked sushi rice, rice vinegar, and soy sauce. Mix well. Set aside.
  • To Form the Sushi Rolls: Slice each sheet of sushi nori into 4 equal squares (about 4”x4”). Working one square at a time, place on a bamboo sushi mat lined with plastic wrap, or you can just use plastic wrap.
  • Add a generous scoop of the sushi rice and press down to cover the sushi nori square. Flip over so the rice is on the plastic wrap.
  • Add a layer of the spicy tuna, thinly sliced carrots, and avocado. Using the bamboo mat and/or plastic wrap to assist, roll up the sushi nori tightly. Use your hands to compact the sushi rice all around. Unroll and place on parchment paper to repeat.
  • To Batter the Sushi Rolls: Set up a battering station with three bowls. In the first bowl, add the flour and paprika. In the second bowl, add the beaten eggs. In the third bowl, add the fine breadcrumbs.
  • Dredge each sushi roll through the flour, then the eggs, and then the breadcrumbs.
  • In a large skillet over medium high heat, heat up the frying oil to 350F or until glistening. Add the sushi rolls to fry 2-3 minutes on each side, until deeply golden and crispy.
  • Remove from the oil to a wire rack or plate lined with paper towels.
  • To Serve: Slice into individual pieces or enjoy whole with the dipping sauce!
  • To Make the Sauce: Combine all ingredients and whisk until smooth. Enjoy with the fried sushi rolls!
