Fried sushi is a variation of traditional sushi that is deep-fried in batter. This dish typically involves wrapping the sushi rice and fillings in a layer of seaweed or other wrapping, coating it in tempura batter, and deep-frying until crispy. The result is a crunchy and flavorful twist on traditional sushi that is often served with dipping sauces such as soy sauce or spicy mayo. Some popular fillings for fried sushi include avocado, cream cheese, crab meat, and spicy tuna. This dish is especially popular in Japan and is sometimes referred to as “tempura sushi” or “deep-fried sushi.”
