Vegetable Filling
Seasoning and Sauce
Method
Tempura Fried Alligator
Prepare the Oil
In a deep frying pan or wok, heat the oil over medium-high heat until it reaches 350°F (175°C).
Make the Tempura Batter
In a mixing bowl, combine the tempura batter mix and cold water. Stir gently until just combined; do not overmix.
Fry the Alligator
Dip each piece of alligator meat into the tempura batter, allowing excess to drip off. Carefully place the battered alligator into the hot oil and fry for about 3-4 minutes or until golden brown and crispy. Remove and drain on paper towels.
Assemble the Roll
Season the Roll
Sprinkle cajun spice over the assembled fillings and drizzle with Louisiana hot sauce.
Roll It Up
Carefully roll the nori over the fillings, using the mat to help shape it tightly. Seal the edge with a little water.
