Sushi Rice

Ahi Poke Filling

Garnish

Method

Prepare Sushi Rice

  1. 1

    Rinse the Sushi Rice

    Place the sushi rice in a fine mesh strainer and rinse under cold water until the water runs clear. This removes excess starch.

  2. 2

    Cook the Rice

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

  3. 3

    Season the Rice

    In a small bowl, mix together rice vinegar, sugar, and salt until dissolved. Once the rice is cooked, remove from heat and stir in the vinegar mixture. Allow the rice to cool to room temperature.

Prepare Ahi Poke Filling

  1. 4

    Dice the Ahi Tuna

    Cut the ahi tuna into small 1/2-inch cubes. Place into a mixing bowl.

  2. 5

    Mix the Marinade

    In the bowl with the tuna, add soy sauce, sesame oil, and finely chopped green onions. Gently toss to combine and let marinate for at least 10 minutes.

  3. 6

    Prepare Vegetables

    Slice the avocado and cucumber into thin strips. Set aside for assembly.

Assemble the Maki

  1. 7

    Prepare the Nori

    Lay a sheet of nori, shiny side down, on a bamboo sushi mat.

  2. 8

    Spread the Rice

    With wet hands, take a handful of sushi rice and evenly spread it over the nori, leaving a 1-inch border at the top.

  3. 9

    Add the Filling

    In the center of the rice, add a few pieces of the marinated ahi tuna, followed by avocado and cucumber strips. Add masago on top.

  4. 10

    Roll the Maki

    Using the bamboo mat, carefully roll the sushi away from you, pressing gently but firmly to create a tight roll. Seal the edge of the nori with a little water.

  5. 11

    Slice the Maki

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

Serve and Garnish

  1. 12

    Garnish the Maki

    Sprinkle sesame seeds on top of the sliced maki. Serve with wasabi and pickled ginger on the side.

  2. 13

    Enjoy!

    Serve fresh and enjoy your homemade Ahi Poke Maki Mono!
