FAQ
What is a Dynamite Roll? A Dynamite Roll is a popular sushi roll that typically contains crispy tempura shrimp, fresh cucumber, creamy avocado, and a spicy mayo sauce. It combines crunchy, creamy, and spicy flavors for a well-balanced bite.
Can I make the Dynamite Roll without tempura shrimp? Yes, you can substitute tempura shrimp with other types of protein such as cooked crab, tuna, or even grilled chicken for a variation of the Dynamite Roll.
How do I make the sushi rice? Rinse sushi rice until the water runs clear, then cook it in a rice cooker or pot. Once cooked, season it with rice vinegar, sugar, and salt. Let it cool before using it in your rolls.
What can I substitute for the Sriracha sauce in the spicy mayo? If you prefer a milder spice, you can replace Sriracha with a different hot sauce or use chili paste. Alternatively, mix mayonnaise with a small amount of wasabi for a different kind of heat.
Do I have to use a bamboo mat to roll sushi? While a bamboo mat makes rolling sushi easier, you can also roll sushi by hand. Simply use a clean towel or plastic wrap to help create a tight roll.
Can I make the Dynamite Roll ahead of time? Sushi is best when freshly made, but you can prepare the individual components ahead of time—such as the tempura shrimp, rice, and spicy mayo—and assemble the roll just before serving.
Is tobiko necessary for the Dynamite Roll? No, tobiko (fish roe) is optional. It is sometimes added as a garnish for a pop of color and texture, but the roll is just as delicious without it.
What kind of avocado should I use? Use ripe but firm avocados for the best texture. They should be slightly soft to the touch but not mushy, which ensures they’ll slice well without turning into mush when rolling.
Can I make the tempura batter ahead of time? It’s best to make the tempura batter fresh, as it will give the shrimp a light and crispy texture. If made ahead, the batter may lose some of its crispness.
What are some side dishes or garnishes that go well with Dynamite Rolls? Dynamite Rolls pair wonderfully with traditional sushi sides like soy sauce, pickled ginger, and wasabi. You can also serve them with miso soup, edamame, or a light seaweed salad for a complete meal.
