Sushi Ingredients

Method

Preparation Steps

  1. 1

    Prepare Sushi Rice

    Rinse the sushi rice under cold water until the water runs clear. Cook according to package instructions. Once cooked, transfer to a bowl and let cool slightly.

  2. 2

    Season the Rice

    Mix rice vinegar, sugar, and salt in a small bowl until dissolved. Pour over the warm rice and gently fold to combine. Allow to cool to room temperature.

  3. 3

    Prepare the Tuna Mixture

    In a bowl, combine canned tuna, Sriracha sauce, mayonnaise, and chopped green onions. Mix well until fully combined.

  4. 4

    Assemble the Rolls

    Place a nori sheet on a bamboo sushi mat, shiny side down. Wet your hands to prevent sticking and take a handful of sushi rice. Spread it evenly over the nori, leaving about 1 inch at the top. Place a line of the tuna mixture along the bottom edge of the rice.

  5. 5

    Roll the Sushi

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

  6. 6

    Slice and Serve

    Using a sharp knife, slice the roll into bite-sized pieces. Sprinkle with sesame seeds and serve with soy sauce, pickled ginger, and wasabi.
