1️⃣ Make the sushi rice according to the recipe. It’s best to use a rice cooker. Let the rice cool. Note: the sushi rice recipe makes 8 rolls, but you can cut this in half if needed. 🍚

2️⃣ Finely chop 8 oz of imitation crab meat and mix it with 3 Tbsp of kewpie Japanese mayonnaise. Set aside. 🦀🥄

3️⃣ Wrap your bamboo sushi mat in plastic wrap for easier cleanup. 📦

4️⃣ Place 1 sheet of toasted nori seaweed on the sushi mat and cut off 1/4 of it with scissors. Using a full sheet may result in too much rice vs. filling. ✂️

5️⃣ Wet your hands in a bowl of water, grab a handful of rice, and spread a thin, even layer on the seaweed. Be careful not to press too hard to avoid mashing the rice. Continuously wet your hands to prevent sticking. 💦

6️⃣ Sprinkle toasted white sesame seeds and black sesame seeds on top of the rice. Flip the entire sheet of seaweed over. 🌱

7️⃣ In the middle of the seaweed, add about 1 oz of the imitation crab meat mixture, a few strips of cucumber, two slices of avocado, and 2 tempura fried shrimp (tails off). 🦀🥒🥑🍤

8️⃣ Using the sushi mat, slightly compress the inner ingredients while rolling the nori. Keep rolling the sushi with the mat, ensuring the roll is tight. 🔄

9️⃣ Place the sushi roll on a cutting board. Use a sharp, wet knife to cut the sushi into 8 equal pieces, wetting the knife before each slice. 🔪

🔟 Top with spicy mayo and unagi sauce. Serve with soy sauce and wasabi. 🍶🌶️

Enjoy your Dynamite Roll! 🍣💥
