Sushi Rice

Spicy Tuna Filling

Roll Assembly

Method

Prepare Sushi Rice

  1. 1

    Rinse the Rice

    In a fine mesh sieve, rinse the sushi rice under cold water until the water runs clear to remove excess starch.

  2. 2

    Cook the Rice

    In a medium saucepan, combine the rinsed sushi rice and 1.5 cups of water. Bring to a boil, then cover and reduce heat to low. Cook for about 20 minutes, or until the rice is tender and the water is absorbed.

  3. 3

    Season the Rice

    Once cooked, remove the rice from heat and let it cool slightly. In a small bowl, mix together rice vinegar, sugar, and salt. Pour this mixture over the warm rice and gently fold to combine without mashing the rice. Let cool to room temperature.

Prepare Spicy Tuna Filling

  1. 4

    Prepare the Tuna

    Finely chop the sushi-grade tuna into small pieces and place it in a mixing bowl.

  2. 5

    Mix the Filling

    Add mayonnaise, Sriracha sauce, chopped green onions, and sesame oil to the chopped tuna. Mix until well combined. Adjust seasoning if necessary.

Assemble the Rolls

  1. 6

    Prepare the Nori

    Lay a sheet of nori, shiny side down, on a bamboo sushi mat or a clean cutting board.

  2. 7

    Spread the Rice

    With wet hands, grab a handful of sushi rice and spread it evenly over the nori, leaving about 1 inch at the top edge.

  3. 8

    Add Fillings

    Place a line of the spicy tuna filling across the center of the rice. Add julienned cucumber and sliced avocado on top of the tuna.

  4. 9

    Roll the Sushi

    Using the bamboo sushi mat, roll the sushi tightly away from you, applying gentle pressure to form a tight roll. Seal the edge with a little water.

  5. 10

    Slice the Rolls

    Using a sharp knife, slice the roll into 6-8 pieces, cleaning the knife with a damp cloth between cuts to ensure clean slices.

  6. 11

    Garnish and Serve

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