Spicy Tuna Roll Recipe

Directions

1. 1

   Prepare the Sushi Rice

   Start by rinsing the sushi rice under cold water until the water runs clear. This removes excess starch.

2. 2

   Cook the Sushi Rice

   Combine the rinsed sushi rice and water in a rice cooker or pot. Cook according to the rice cooker instructions or bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 18-20 minutes until rice is cooked and water is absorbed.

3. 3

   Season the Sushi Rice

   In a small bowl, mix the rice vinegar, sugar, and salt until dissolved. Once the rice is cooked, transfer it to a large bowl and gently fold in the vinegar mixture. Allow it to cool to room temperature.

4. 4

   Prepare the Spicy Tuna Mixture

   Dice the raw tuna into small cubes. In a mixing bowl, combine the diced tuna, Sriracha sauce, and mayonnaise. Adjust the spiciness by adding more Sriracha to taste.

5. 5

   Prepare the Vegetables

   Slice the avocado and jalapeño thinly. Julienne the jicama into thin strips.

6. 6

   Assemble the Rolls

   Lay a bamboo sushi mat on a flat surface and place a sheet of nori on top, shiny side down. Wet your hands to prevent sticking and spread an even layer of sushi rice over the nori, leaving about 1 inch at the top edge.

7. 7

   Add Fillings

   In the center of the rice, place a line of the spicy tuna mixture, followed by avocado slices, jalapeño, and jicama strips.

8. 8

   Roll the Sushi

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

9. 9

   Slice the Sushi

   Using a sharp knife, slice the roll into 6-8 pieces. Clean the knife with a damp cloth after each cut for cleaner slices.

10. 10

    Garnish and Serve

    Sprinkle roe on top of the sliced rolls. Serve with soy sauce and wasabi on the side.
