Method
Prepare Sushi Rice
- 1
Rinse the Rice
Place the sushi rice in a fine-mesh strainer and rinse under cold water until the water runs clear to remove excess starch.
- 2
Cook the Rice
In a medium saucepan, combine the rinsed sushi rice and water. Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat to low, cover, and simmer for 18-20 minutes until the rice is tender and the water is absorbed.
- 3
Season the Rice
Remove the rice from heat and let it sit covered for 10 minutes. In a small bowl, combine rice vinegar, sugar, and salt. Heat briefly to dissolve the sugar, then fold this mixture into the rice gently with a spatula. Allow it to cool to room temperature.
Prepare Filling
- 4
Mix Tuna Filling
In a medium bowl, combine the drained white tuna, mayonnaise, finely chopped jalapeno, lime juice, and salt. Mix well until all ingredients are thoroughly combined.
Assemble Rolls
- 5
Prepare Nori
Lay a bamboo sushi mat on a clean surface and place a sheet of nori, shiny side down, on the mat.
- 6
Add Rice
Wet your hands to prevent sticking, then take a handful of sushi rice and spread it evenly over the nori, leaving about 1 inch at the top edge.
- 7
Add Filling
Place a line of the tuna mixture along the center of the rice.
- 8
Roll the Sushi
Using the bamboo mat, start rolling the sushi tightly away from you, pressing gently but firmly to shape it. Roll until the edge of the nori seals against the rice.
- 9
Slice the Rolls
With a sharp knife, slice the roll into 6-8 pieces. Wipe the knife with a damp cloth between cuts for clean slices.
- 10
Garnish and Serve
Sprinkle sesame seeds on top if desired. Serve with soy sauce on the side for dipping.
