This Hallowed Ground Spicy Tuna Sushi Roll may look like a work of art, but isn’t all that difficult to master once you’ve learned the basic rolling technique. Once cut, your sushi roll will expose the beautiful contrasting layers of pristine white sushi rice and spicy tuna mix, crowned with an intricate, golden tempura carrot crisp.

Fill a glass bowl approximately halfway with your pre-made tempura batter mixture.To flavor your tempura batter, add one and a half teaspoons of grated garlic, and then mix until evenly distributed throughout the batter with a whisk. add a few drops of sesame oil and mix further to ensure the flavoring does not ‘sit’ at the center of the mixture.

Next, take a handful of grated carrot and place on your chopping board, separating it slightly with your fingers to allow the ginger to penetrate. Sprinkle one teaspoon of grated fresh ginger evenly over the carrots, then spread evenly throughout using your fingers.

With your fingers, take a small amount of the carrot mix (about half of the size of a crisp) and immerse it in the batter – then pull it out quickly. Take another helping of the carrot mixture and combine both, ensuring the batter mixture lightly and evenly coats all of the carrot. Once the carrot crisp is immersed in hot oil, it will spread like a pancake.

Drop the carrot mixture into the table-top fryer and allow to crisp for 20-30 seconds, turning halfway through to ensure the batter is evenly cooked on both sides. Once it is rigid and golden, remove with a pair of tongs and place onto a napkin covered plate to allow any excess oil to be absorbed.
