Method
Prepare Sushi Rice
Rinse the Rice
Begin by rinsing the sushi rice under cold water until the water runs clear. This removes excess starch.
Cook the Rice
In a medium saucepan, combine the rinsed rice and water. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat, then reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 20 minutes.
Season the Rice
Once cooked, remove from heat and let it sit covered for 10 minutes. In a small bowl, mix rice vinegar, sugar, and salt until dissolved. Gently fold this mixture into the rice using a wooden spatula.
Prepare Tuna Filling
Slice the Tuna
Cut the fresh sushi-grade tuna into thin slices, about 1/4 inch thick.
Mix with Soy Sauce and Wasabi
In a small bowl, combine the tuna slices with soy sauce and wasabi, gently tossing to coat.
Assemble Sushi
Prepare Nori
Lay a sheet of nori on a bamboo sushi mat, shiny side down.
Spread Rice
Wet your hands to prevent sticking, then take a handful of sushi rice and spread it evenly over the nori, leaving about 1 inch at the top edge.
Add Tuna
Place the seasoned tuna slices in a line across the center of the rice.
Roll Sushi
Using the bamboo mat, roll the sushi away from you, applying gentle pressure to form a tight roll. Seal the edge of the nori with a bit of water.
Cut and Serve
Using a sharp knife, slice the roll into 2 pieces. Optionally, sprinkle sesame seeds on top before serving.
