Sushi Rice:

- Transfer the rice to a baking sheet and spread it using a spoon or spatula.
- Put rice vinegar, sugar, and salt into a small microwave safe dish, blast for a few seconds to dissolve the sugar.
- Drizzle vinegar mixture over the rice and stir. Cool it down to room temperature.
Shrimp Tempura Sushi Rolls:
- Prepare and bake the shrimp according to the directions on the packaging.
- Place a plastic wrap over sushi mat. Add 1 nori sheet to the mat and with wet hands spread ½ cup of rice evenly on the nori. Sprinkle ½ tablespoon of tobiko on top if preferred.
- Next, flip the nori to the other side and add the tempura shrimp, avocado slices and cucumbers horizontally. Roll the sushi tightly with the sushi mat.
- Transfer the sushi roll to a cutting board. Wet a sharp knife with cold water and cut each sushi roll into 8 equal portions. Drizzle some unagi sushi sauce over the top. Serve with a soy sauce and lemon or mayo dip on the side.
