Ingredients:
- Sushi rolling mat
- Deep fryer
- 100 g of oyster, cleaned
- 100 g of tempura batter
- ½ cucumber, cut into long cubes
- Black and white sesame seed
- 10 seaweed sheets
- 1 cup of sushi rice, cooked
- 1 teaspoon of vinegar
- Salt to taste
Mentai Mayo
- 2 tablespoons of mayonnaise
- 2 teaspoons of sriracha sauce
- 1 teaspoon of lime juice
- 2 teaspoons of Masago fish roe
Instructions:
- Using a rice cooker, prepare your sushi rice by cooking about 1 cup of sushi rice according to education. Add vinegar and salt to the rice.
- Meanwhile, prepare your mentai mayo by mixing 2 tablespoons of mayonnaise, 2 teaspoons of Sriracha sauce, a teaspoon lime juice and 2 teaspoons of Masago fish roe into a small bowl and mix until thoroughly combined. Be careful not to put too much lime juice as you do not want your sauce to be too watery. Set aside.
- To prepare your oyster, remove the oyster meat from its shell. Set up your deep fryer to a temperature of 180°C. If you do not own a deep fryer, heat up a generous amount of oil in a wok. You can choose to deep fry the oyster on its own, but the mentai roll will taste better if the oyster is coated with tempura batter before being deep-fried. Deep fry the oyster for no longer than 1 minute.
- To assemble the mentai roll, layer the seaweed sheet that is big enough for the roll size that you desire. Then, layer the sushi rice evenly on the sushi rolling mat.
- Assemble the cucumber, fried oyster and mentai mayo on top of the rice.
- Carefully roll the mat to form a tight roll. Remove the sushi roll from the rolling mat and start coating the outer layer with the black and white sesame seed.
- To serve, cut the mentai rolls into about 1.5 cm thickness and serve immediately with an extra mentai mayo on the side.
