Preparation

You need to prepare the rice first. The rice should be free from starch, to do this put rice in a bowl and add some water, wait 20 minutes and get rid of water. Wash several times until the water becomes clear. Strain the rice and wait about 5 minutes.Put the rice in rice cooker, or a pot add same amount of water. Cook it on high heat about 3 minutes until it boils, then turn down the stove to medium and cook another 7 minutes, after seven minutes turn down the heat to very low and cook another 10 minutes. After 10 minutes turn off the stove and wait 5 more minutes.

In the meantime add rice vinegar, sugar and salt in a small bowl and mix well until the sugar dissolves. Take rice in a larger pan and spread vinegar mixture evenly on it. Your rice will be ready when it absorbs all the vinegar.

Cut salmon, avocado and carrot into thin slices. Take out cucumber's inside part and cut it into thin slices as well. 

To prepare the sauce mix mayo, sesame oil, sriracha and crushed garlic.

To prepare shrimp tempura, toss shrimp in corn starch and salt. Beat egg with water and add flour and mix. Dip shrimps in this batter and fry.

For the topping grate potatoes and fry, you can add some salt if you want.

Take a place mat that can be bend and cover it with plastic film.

Cut nori sheets into two pieces. Take one and put in on the place mat. Take one handful of rice and spread on the sheet, sprinkle sesame and black seeds on top of it. Turn the other side and put smoked salmon or shrimp tempura, avocado, cucumber and carrot slices and hot sauce. Put them on one side only.

Roll the place mat and squeze it with both hands. Open the mat and fix the roll and squeeze again.Slice the sushi with a sharp knife. Put potatoes on top. Serve with soy sauce and pickled ginger. Enjoy!
