Method
Instructions

Prepare the 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.

Season the Rice
In a small bowl, mix the rice vinegar, sugar, and salt until dissolved. Pour this mixture over the warm rice and gently fold it in. Allow the rice to cool to room temperature.

Prepare the Tuna Filling
In a separate bowl, combine the drained canned tuna with mayonnaise. Mix until well combined.

Assemble the Rolls
Lay a sheet of nori on a bamboo sushi mat. Wet your hands and grab a handful of sushi rice, spreading it evenly over the nori, leaving a 1-inch border at the top. Place a line of the tuna mixture horizontally across the center of the rice.

Roll the Sushi
Starting from the bottom, carefully roll the sushi away from you, pressing gently but firmly to keep the roll tight. Use the mat to help shape the roll. Seal the edge with a little water.

Slice and Serve
