Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups cooked sushi rice, seasoned with sushi vinegar and cooled to room temperature
  • 4 nori sheets
  • 3 ounces cream cheese, softened for easy spreading
  • 1/2 cup all-purpose flour, for the coating
  • 1/4 cup cornstarch, to create a crispy exterior
  • 1/2 cup water, for the flour slurry
  • 1 cup Japanese panko breadcrumbs, for maximum crunch
  • 2 cups oil, vegetable or canola oil for frying
  • 1 pound crispy shrimp, cut into small bite-sized pieces
  • 1 ripe avocado, sliced thin
  • 1/4 cup sriracha mayo, or make your own by mixing sriracha and mayo
  • 1/4 cup eel sauce, for signature sushi pizza flavor
  • 2 tablespoons furikake, for garnish
  • Optional toppings, sesame seeds, green onion, spicy mayo, or cucumber slices

Instructions

  1. Cook and Season the Rice
  2. 1. Prepare sushi rice according to package directions, typically using a 1:1 ratio of rice to water.
  3. 2. Drizzle sushi vinegar over the warm rice and gently fold it in using a wooden spoon until evenly distributed.
  4. 3. Spread the seasoned rice on a clean surface to cool to room temperature, about 10-15 minutes.
  5. Prepare the Coating
  6. 1. In a shallow bowl, combine 1/2 cup all-purpose flour and 1/4 cup cornstarch with 1/2 cup water, stirring until you reach a smooth, lump-free consistency.
  7. 2. Pour 1 cup Japanese panko breadcrumbs into a separate shallow bowl for easy dipping.
  8. 3. Cut 4 nori sheets into large triangle shapes, roughly 4-5 inches on each side.
  9. Assemble the Triangles
  10. 1. Spread a thin layer of cooled sushi rice over the lower portion of each nori triangle, leaving about 1/2 inch at the bottom edge.
  11. 2. Place approximately 1 teaspoon of softened cream cheese on the upper part of each nori triangle.
  12. 3. Gently fold the triangle in half so the cream cheese side meets the rice, then press lightly to secure without crushing the rice.
  13. 4. Dip each folded triangle into the flour slurry to coat completely on all sides, then immediately coat with panko breadcrumbs, pressing gently to adhere.
  14. Fry Until Golden
  15. 1. Heat 2 cups of oil in a medium skillet over medium-high heat to approximately 350 degrees Fahrenheit.
  16. 2. Carefully place triangles in the hot oil and fry for 2-3 minutes per side until golden brown and crispy.
  17. 3. Transfer fried triangles to a paper towel-lined plate to remove excess oil while still warm.
  18. Top and Serve
  19. 1. Top each crispy triangle with a generous handful of crispy shrimp pieces, distributing evenly across the rice side.
  20. 2. Arrange thin slices of ripe avocado on top of the shrimp, slightly overlapping for visual appeal.
  21. 3. Drizzle 1 teaspoon of sriracha mayo and 1 teaspoon of eel sauce over each pizza.
  22. 4. Sprinkle approximately 1/2 teaspoon of furikake over each triangle and serve immediately while crispy.
