Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Rinse 2 cups of sushi rice under cold water until water runs clear. Cook the rice with 2 ½ cups of water. Let sit for 10 minutes and fluff with a fork.
  2. Whisk together 1 cup of all-purpose flour, ½ cup of cornstarch, and a pinch of salt. Gradually stir in 1 cup of iced water until just combined.
  3. Heat 2 inches of vegetable oil in a pan over medium-high heat to 350°F. Dip shrimp into the batter and fry for 2-3 minutes until golden.
  4. In a greased 9x13-inch baking dish, spread the cooled sushi rice as a base. Arrange tempura shrimp on top and drizzle with sauces.
  5. Preheat oven to 400°F. Bake for 15-20 minutes until heated through and slightly golden. Broil for 2-3 minutes for extra crispiness.
  6. Let cool slightly before cutting into squares. Serve warm, garnished with green onions or sesame seeds.

Notes

Ensure your oil is heated to around 350°F before frying shrimp to achieve delicious crispiness. Fry in small batches to maintain oil temperature for even cooking.
