Spicy Tuna Filling
Additional Ingredients
Method
Prepare Sushi Rice
- 1
Wash the Rice
Rinse the sushi rice under cold water until the water runs clear. This removes excess starch.
- 2
Cook the Rice
In a rice cooker or pot, combine the rinsed sushi rice and 1.25 cups of water. Cook according to rice cooker instructions or bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer covered for 20 minutes.
- 3
Season the Rice
In a small bowl, mix rice vinegar, sugar, and salt until dissolved. Once the rice is cooked, 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
- 4
Mix the Filling
In a medium bowl, combine diced tuna, mayonnaise, Sriracha sauce, chopped green onions, and sesame oil. Mix gently until the tuna is well coated.
Assemble the Sushi Rolls
- 5
Lay Nori on Bamboo Mat
Place a sheet of nori, shiny side down, on a bamboo sushi mat.
- 6
Add Sushi Rice
Wet your hands to prevent sticking, then grab a handful of sushi rice and spread it evenly over the nori, leaving about 1 inch of the top edge clear.
- 7
Add Tuna and Avocado
Place a line of the spicy tuna filling in the center of the rice, followed by a few slices of avocado.
- 8
Roll the Sushi
Using the bamboo mat, carefully roll the sushi away from you, applying gentle pressure to form a tight roll. Seal the edge with a little water.
- 9
Slice the Roll
Using a sharp knife, slice the roll into 6-8 pieces. Clean the knife with a damp cloth between cuts for clean slices.
