Method

Preparation Steps

  1. 1

    Prepare the Sushi Rice

    Rinse the sushi rice in cold water until the water runs clear. Cook according to package instructions. Once cooked, let it cool and season with rice vinegar, sugar, and salt.

  2. 2

    Prepare the Tuna Filling

    In a bowl, mix the fresh tuna (finely chopped), Sriracha sauce, and mayonnaise until well combined. Adjust the spice level to taste.

  3. 3

    Prepare the Vegetables

    Julienne the cucumber and slice the avocado into thin strips.

  4. 4

    Roll the Sushi

    On a bamboo sushi mat, place a sheet of nori shiny side down. Wet your hands and spread a thin layer of sushi rice over the nori, leaving about an inch at the top edge. Place a line of the tuna mixture, cucumber, and avocado in the center. Roll the sushi tightly away from you, using the mat to help. Seal the edge with a little water.

  5. 5

    Cut and Serve

    Using a sharp knife, slice the roll into 6-8 pieces. Sprinkle sesame seeds on top and serve with soy sauce and wasabi.
