Method
Prepare Sushi Rice
- 1
Rinse Rice
Rinse the sushi rice under cold water until the water runs clear to remove excess starch.
- 2
Cook Rice
In a pot, combine the rinsed sushi rice and water. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low, cover, and cook for 20 minutes until the rice is tender and water is absorbed.
- 3
Season Rice
In a small bowl, mix together 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. Let it cool to room temperature.

- 4
Make Spicy Tuna Mix
In a bowl, mix the spicy tuna with Sriracha sauce, mayonnaise, and sesame oil until well combined.

- 6
Prepare Crabstick
Shred the crabstick into bite-sized pieces.

Slice the sushi-grade salmon into thin strips.
Assemble Roll
- 8
Prepare Nori
Place a bamboo sushi mat on a flat surface and lay a nori sheet shiny side down on the mat.
- 9
Spread Rice
Wet your hands to prevent sticking. Take a handful of sushi rice and spread it evenly over the nori, leaving about 1 inch at the top edge.
- 10
Add Filling
Layer the spicy tuna mix, crabstick, avocado slices, and salmon evenly across the center of the rice.
- 11
Roll Sushi
Using the bamboo mat, carefully lift the edge of the mat and roll it away from you, pressing gently to form a tight roll. Seal the edge with a little water.

Make Additional Rolls
Repeat with the remaining nori sheets and filling ingredients.

Slice Rolls
Once all rolls are made, slice each roll into 6-8 pieces using a sharp knife. Wipe the knife with a damp cloth between slices to prevent sticking.
- 14
Serve
Sprinkle with sesame seeds if desired, and serve with soy sauce, pickled ginger, and wasabi.
