Tempura-Style Sushi Wraps
Serves 4
INGREDIENTS
For the sticky rice:
1½ cup sushi rice
1 tsp salt
2 tbsp rice vinegar
1 tbsp sugar
2 tbsp black sesame seeds (optional)
For the wraps:
1 box (240g) Fry’s Fish-Style Fillets, frozen
4 wraps
4 tbsp vegan mayonnaise
2 carrots, cut into sticks
¼ cucumber, cut into sticks
1 avocado, peeled, de-pipped and cut into thin strips
Serving suggestion:
Soy sauce
Pickled ginger
Wasabi paste
METHOD
For the sticky rice:
-
Rinse the rice thoroughly under cold water until the water runs clear.
-
Combine the rice and ½ tsp salt in a pot and cover with 2 cups of cold water. Soak for 30 minutes. Cover with a lid, bring to the boil and simmer for 15-20 minutes, or until the water has been absorbed. Remove from the heat, place a kitchen towel in between the pot and lid and allow to stand for 12 minutes. Spread the steamed rice over a baking tray to cool.
-
Combine the rice vinegar, sugar and the remaining salt in a small saucepan. Bring to a simmer on a low heat and stir until the sugar is dissolved. Allow to cool.
-
Stir the vinegar mixture and sesame seeds through the cooled rice and set aside.
For the vegan wraps:
-
Preheat the oven to 200.
-
Place the frozen Fry’s Fish-Style Fillets on a greased baking tray and bake the fillets for 15 minutes, or until golden and crisp on the outside. Cut into strips.
-
Lay the wraps out onto a clean surface and spread a thin layer of mayonnaise over the top of each. Add a few tablespoons of sticky rice onto one half of each wrap and press down firmly to create a 1cm layer.
-
Layer carrot and cucumber sticks, avocado slices and baked “fish” strips in the middle of the rice. Dollop a small amount of mayo at one end and spread along the length of the filling.
-
Roll the wrap up carefully, starting from the filling side. Repeat with all 4 wraps.
-
Slice these delicious vegan tempura sushi wraps in half and serve with soy sauce, pickled ginger and wasabi paste on the side. ENJOY!
