How to Make a Spider Roll | Sushi With Me

Context: My bro made these American sushi rolls while in a rush for a party, so nothing about this vid is going to be authentic or Michelin ⭐ quality. They still taste amazing though! Also, sorry for no subtitles or a voice-over. Have to focus on school right now but I didn't want to fall off the weekly uploads. In fact, I'll be uploading 2 sushi vids a week on Thurs and Sun until the end of July! You'll find a detailed list of ingredients and steps below ⬇⬇⬇!
🍤 INGREDIENTS:
- Sushi Rice: short grain rice, sushi rice vinegar (Marukan is a good brand)
- Crab Tempura: tempura batter, soft-shell crab (1/2 crab per roll)
- Sushi: nori sheets, black & white sesame seeds, cucumber, spicy mayo (1 tbsp mayo: 1 tsp sriracha; optionally a little lime juice)
🍣 STEPS:
1) Thoroughly clean your sushi rice. Rinse and strain your rice until the rinse water is clear.
2) Cook your sushi rice according to your brand's instructions.
3) Once cooked, transfer your rice to a large container.
4) While the rice is still hot, add sushi rice vinegar. Cut the rice to disperse the vinegar and spread the rice evenly across the container surface. Don't smash or flatten the rice as it'll make the rice clumpy and prevent even cooling. Let the rice cool to room temperature.
* How much sushi rice vinegar do I add? Add enough so that the rice is slightly wet. 4 cups uncooked rice to 1 cup rice vinegar is a good ratio to start with. As the rice cools, it'll soak up the liquid and retain the flavor. Once cool, it should be sticky but not wet.
5) Cut off the ends of and halve your cucumbers. Peel them. Julienne them. Be careful!
6) Rinse your soft-shell crab.
7) Coat your soft-shell crab in dry tempura batter. Use a little water to help the batter stick.
8) Place your soft-shell crab in hot oil to deep fry. Flip half way through to cook evenly. Once cooked, drain the excess oil on a paper towel lined plate and let it cool.
9) To make the sushi! Wet your hands. Make a ball of rice and place it in the center of a half sheet of nori. Start with less rice as you can always add more.
10) Spread the rice evenly across the nori surface. It should be a thin layer of rice. Leave one edge of the nori free of rice so the roll doesn't get overstuffed. It really makes a difference when rolling.
11) Add spicy mayo, black & white sesame seeds, 1/2 a fried crab and cucumber.
12) Roll! Tighten the roll with a bamboo sushi rolling mat.
13) Wet your knife and cut your sushi. Wipe the knife clean.
14) Subscribe if you'd like and more importantly enjoy!
