Spicy Tuna Roll Recipe

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 and cook according to the manufacturer's instructions. Once cooked, let it cool slightly.

2. 2

   Season the Rice

   In a small bowl, mix together rice vinegar, sugar, and salt. Gently fold this mixture into the warm rice until evenly coated. Allow the rice to cool to room temperature.

3. 3

   Prepare Spicy Tuna Mixture

   Dice the ahi tuna into small cubes and place it in a bowl. Add mayonnaise and sriracha sauce, mixing until the tuna is well coated.

4. 4

   Slice Cucumber

   Julienne the cucumber into thin strips.

5. 5

   Assemble the Roll

   Lay a bamboo sushi mat on a flat surface. Place a nori sheet shiny side down on the mat. With wet hands, spread a thin layer of sushi rice over the nori, leaving about an inch at the top edge. In the center, place a line of the spicy tuna mixture and a few strips of cucumber.

6. 6

   Roll the Sushi

   Using the bamboo mat, roll the sushi away from you, applying gentle pressure. Roll it tightly until you reach the edge of the nori. Use a little water to seal the edge.

7. 7

   Slice and Serve

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