The tempura roll is the perfect choice for the sushi eater with a fried food craving! The tempura roll is quite similar to the crunchy roll, the major difference is that the meat—usually shrimp or prawns-is fried tempura style and then rolled traditionally.
Often seen as the fattiest of sushi rolls, the tempura roll is almost as light as it is delicious!
Let’s take a closer look at tempura roll nutrition facts.

As shown by the tempura roll nutrition chart above, the calories are fairly friendly for all. The downside of the tempura roll is how much sodium you take in. Without water you’ll be super thirsty! The cholesterol and carbs are slightly on the high side, but with regular exercise the tempura roll can be an occasional part of your diet.
Storing/Selecting
When you choose a tempura roll, make sure it has been made fresh to order so the batter is crunchy and the meat is fresh. Although the tempura roll is fried, it is still crucial that all ingredients are fresh.
Store the tempura roll in the refrigerator for a few hours, but keep in mind that tempura rolls do not re-heat successfully. A tempura roll that’s been reheated may result in dry or soggy shrimp that’s not so tasty, so as with all sushi, freshness is key.
Eat It With:
The tempura roll is eaten with traditional sushi dipping sauce. Combine the soy sauce, wasabi paste and ginger that accompany a tempura roll and quickly dip each piece of the roll in prior to eating. The flavor combination highlights the tempura style shrimp, while enhancing the overall flavor of the tempura roll.
