Ingredients

Nori Taco Shells

4 sheets nori
1 cup tempura batter mix
1 cup cold water
1 quart vegetable oil for frying

Sushi Filling

8 ounces sushi-grade tuna diced
1 cup cooked sushi rice cooled
1/2 cup cucumber julienned

Yuzu Wasabi Aioli

Instructions

1 Heat vegetable oil in a deep pan to 350°F (175°C).

6 Fill each nori taco shell with a layer of sushi rice, followed by tuna mixture, cucumber, and pickled ginger.
7 Drizzle with yuzu wasabi aioli and sprinkle with toasted sesame seeds.
8 Serve immediately for best texture and flavor.
