Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Tuna

    In a bowl, combine soy sauce, sesame oil, and sriracha. Add the ahi tuna, and marinate for about 15 minutes.

  2. 2

    Prepare the Spicy Emulsion

    In a small bowl, mix mayonnaise, rice vinegar, and a pinch of sriracha to taste to create the spicy emulsion.

  3. 3

    Prepare the Avocado

    Slice the avocado into thin strips.

  4. 4

    Assemble the Roll

    Place a nori sheet on a bamboo mat. Spread half of the cooked sushi rice evenly over the nori, leaving a small border at the top. Layer the marinated tuna, avocado strips, pickled ginger, and tempura flakes across the center.

  5. 5

    Roll the Sushi

    Using the bamboo mat, carefully roll the sushi away from you, applying gentle pressure to keep it tight. Seal the edge with a bit of water.

  6. 6

    Slice and Serve

    Using a sharp knife, slice the roll into 6-8 pieces. Drizzle the spicy emulsion over the top and sprinkle with sesame seeds. Serve with additional pickled ginger on the side.
