Sushi Rice

Spicy Tuna Filling

Other Ingredients

Method

Prepare Sushi Rice

  1. 1

    Rinse and Cook the Rice

    Rinse the sushi rice under cold water until the water runs clear. Combine the rinsed rice and 1.5 cups of water in a rice cooker or pot. Cook according to the rice cooker instructions or bring to a boil, then reduce heat, cover, and simmer for 20 minutes. Remove from heat and let sit for 10 minutes.

  2. 2

    Season the Rice

    In a small saucepan, heat rice vinegar, sugar, and salt over low heat until dissolved. Once the rice has cooled slightly, transfer it to a large bowl and gently fold in the vinegar mixture. Allow the rice to cool to room temperature.

Prepare Spicy Tuna Filling

  1. 3

    Chop the Tuna

    Dice the sushi-grade tuna into small cubes and place it in a mixing bowl.

  2. 4

    Mix Spicy Tuna

    Add mayonnaise, Sriracha sauce, chopped green onions, and sesame oil to the diced tuna. Mix until well combined and set aside.

Assemble the Sushi Rolls

  1. 5

    Lay Out the Nori

    Place a bamboo sushi mat on a clean surface and place a sheet of nori, shiny side down, on the mat.

  2. 6

    Add Sushi Rice

    Wet your hands to prevent sticking, then take a handful of sushi rice (about 1/2 cup) and spread it evenly over the nori, leaving a 1-inch border at the top.

  3. 7

    Add Fillings

    Place a line of the spicy tuna mixture along the center of the rice. Slice the avocado in half, remove the pit, and cut into thin slices. Lay a few avocado slices on top of the tuna.

  4. 8

    Roll the Sushi

    Using the bamboo mat, carefully lift the edge of the mat closest to you and start rolling it away from you, pressing gently but firmly to shape the roll. Roll until the top edge of the nori is reached, wet the edge with a little water to seal.

  5. 9

    Slice the Rolls

    Using a sharp knife, slice the roll into 6-8 pieces. Wipe the knife with a damp cloth between cuts for cleaner slices.

Serve

  1. 10

    Presentation

    Arrange the sushi rolls on a plate and serve with soy sauce, pickled ginger, and wasabi on the side.
