Ingredients

Method

Directions

  1. 1

    Prepare Sushi Rice

    Rinse the sushi rice under cold water until the water runs clear. Cook the rice according to package instructions. Once cooked, transfer to a bowl and mix in rice vinegar, sugar, and salt while the rice is still warm. Allow to cool slightly.

  2. 2

    Prepare Cucumber

    Thinly slice the cucumber into long strips using a vegetable peeler or mandoline.

  3. 3

    Prepare Tuna

    Cut the sushi-grade tuna into thin strips or small cubes, depending on your preference.

  4. 4

    Assemble Sushi Rolls

    Place a sheet of nori on a bamboo sushi mat. Wet your hands and spread a thin layer of sushi rice over the nori, leaving a small border at the top. Lay the strips of tuna and cucumber in a line across the center of the rice. Drizzle spicy mayo over the filling.

  5. 5

    Roll Sushi

    Using the bamboo mat, carefully roll the sushi away from you, applying gentle pressure to form a tight roll. Moisten the edge of the nori with water to seal the roll.

  6. 6

    Slice and Serve

    Using a sharp knife, slice the roll into 8 equal pieces. Sprinkle sesame seeds on top and serve with additional spicy mayo on the side.
