Instructions
Step 1: Prepare the Sushi Rice
- Rinse the sushi rice under cold water until the water runs clear to remove excess starch.
- Combine the rice and water in a saucepan, cover, and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat to low and simmer for 15 minutes.
- Remove from heat and let the rice sit, covered, for 10 minutes.
- In a small bowl, mix the rice vinegar, sugar, and salt until dissolved. Gently fold this mixture into the cooked rice. Let the rice cool to room temperature.
Step 2: Make the Nori Taco Shells
- Preheat the oven to 300°F (150°C).
- In a small bowl, whisk together the flour, water, and sesame oil to create a light batter.
- Brush one side of each nori sheet with the batter. Fold the nori sheets in half, pressing lightly to adhere.
- Drape the nori sheets over the rungs of an oven rack to create a taco shape. Bake for 10 minutes or until crisp. Remove and let cool.
Step 3: Prepare the Fillings
- Dice the sushi-grade fish and toss it with soy sauce, sesame oil, and sriracha for added spice if desired.
- Prepare the vegetables: julienne the cucumber and carrot, and slice the avocado.
Step 4: Assemble the Sushi Tacos
- Spread a layer of sushi rice inside each nori shell.
- Add a portion of the marinated fish, followed by the sliced avocado and julienned vegetables.
- Top with sesame seeds, scallions, pickled ginger, and a drizzle of wasabi mayo or spicy mayo.
Step 5: Serve and Enjoy
- Serve the tacos immediately to enjoy their crisp texture. Pair with soy sauce and additional pickled ginger on the side.
