The California tempura roll is a delightful sushi variation featuring imitation crab meat, avocado, and cucumber, all wrapped in seaweed and rice, then lightly battered and fried for a crispy texture. This popular sushi roll is best enjoyed fresh, but proper storage can extend its shelf life and maintain its delicious flavor.
Storage Time
Consume immediately for best quality. Refrigerate for up to 24 hours, but texture will degrade. Freezing is not recommended.

Signs of Spoilage
- Sour or fishy odor
