Method

Preparation Steps

  1. 1

    Prepare Sushi Rice

    Rinse the sushi rice under cold water until the water runs clear. Combine the rice and water in a rice cooker or pot and cook according to the rice cooker's instructions or bring to a boil, then cover and simmer for 20 minutes until the water is absorbed. Let it cool slightly.

  2. 2

    Season the Rice

    In a small bowl, mix the rice vinegar, sugar, and salt until dissolved. Gently fold this mixture into the cooled sushi rice. Allow to cool completely.

  3. 3

    Prepare Ingredients

    Slice the fresh tuna into thin strips. Julienne the cucumber and slice the avocado.

  4. 4

    Assemble Sushi Rolls

    Place a sheet of nori on a bamboo sushi mat. Wet your hands to prevent sticking and spread a thin layer of sushi rice on the nori, leaving a small border at the top. Arrange tuna, cucumber, and avocado in a line across the rice. Roll the sushi tightly away from you, using the mat to help. Seal the edge with a little water.

  5. 5

    Cut Sushi Rolls

    Using a sharp knife, cut the sushi roll into 6-8 pieces. Repeat with remaining nori sheets and fillings.

  6. 6

    Serve

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