Ingredients

  • Fresh uni
  • Nori sheets
  • Oba (Japanese basil)
  • Tempura batter
  • Sesame oil
  • Vegetable oil for frying

Instructions

  • Prepare a nori sheet.
  • Arrange oba on top of it.
  • Top it off again with uni.
  • Roll the nori so the oba and uni are all covered. You can roll it in a cigar-like shape or have it more like a ball. Or you can make both and dress up your table setting very nicely.
  • Dip the roll in the tempura batter and make sure every piece is covered in the batter.
  • Deep fry the tempura until it turns golden.
  • Take it out of the oil and let it soak for 5 minutes.
  • Serve as a side dish or snack.
