Rinse the rice, cook it with water and let it rest covered for 10 minutes.
Dissolve the rice vinegar, sugar and salt and fold into the rice with cutting motions.
Make a pourable tempura batter with flour, egg and ice-cold sparkling water.
Dip the crabs in tempura and fry in 180°C oil for 4 minutes.
Spread sushi rice on nori, flip it and add crab, avocado and cucumber.
Roll tightly and cut into 8 pieces with a damp sharp knife.
Serve immediately with mayonnaise and soy sauce.
💡 Tip: Keeping the tempura batter ice cold makes the crab coating thin and crisp.
🍽️ Serving suggestion: Serve with pickled ginger, soy sauce and lightly spicy mayonnaise.
