Ingredients

For the Sushi Rice:

• 1 cup sushi rice
  
  

• 1 1/4 cups water
  
  

• 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
  
  

• 1 teaspoon sugar
  
  

• 1/4 teaspoon salt
  
  

For the Roll:

• 6 sushi seaweed sheets (nori)
  
  

• 12 tempura shrimp
  
  

• 1 avocado, sliced
  
  

• 1/4 cucumber, julienned
  
  

For the Volcano Topping:

• 2 tablespoons mayonnaise
  
  

• 1 tablespoon sriracha sauce
  
  

• 1 tablespoon soy sauce
  
  

• 1 teaspoon sesame oil
  
  

• 1 teaspoon rice vinegar
  
  

For Garnish:

• 1 tablespoon eel sauce (optional)
  
  

• Sesame seeds
  
  

• Chopped green onions
  
  

Directions

1. Prepare the Sushi Rice: Rinse the sushi rice under cold water until the water runs clear. In a rice cooker, combine the rice and water and cook according to the rice cooker instructions. Once the rice is cooked, stir in the rice vinegar, sugar, and salt. Let it cool to room temperature.
   
   

2. Assemble the Roll: Place a seaweed sheet on a bamboo sushi mat. Spread an even layer of sushi rice over the nori, leaving a 1-inch border at the top. Place 2 tempura shrimp, avocado slices, and cucumber strips along the bottom edge of the rice. Carefully roll the sushi tightly, using the bamboo mat to help shape it. Seal the roll by dampening the top edge of the nori with water.
   
   

3. Prepare the Volcano Topping: In a small bowl, mix together the mayonnaise, sriracha sauce, soy sauce, sesame oil, and rice vinegar until well combined.
   
   

4. Broil the Roll: Place the sushi roll on a baking sheet. Spread the volcano topping evenly over the roll. Broil in the oven for 2-3 minutes or until the topping is bubbly and lightly browned.
   
   

5. Garnish and Serve: Slice the roll into bite-sized pieces. Drizzle with eel sauce (if using) and sprinkle with sesame seeds and chopped green onions. Serve immediately and enjoy!
