Ingredients

Method

Directions

  1. 1

    Prepare Sushi Rice

    Rinse the sushi rice under cold water until the water runs clear. Combine rice and water in a rice cooker and cook according to the manufacturer's instructions. Once cooked, transfer to a bowl.

  2. 2

    Season the Rice

    In a small bowl, mix rice vinegar, sugar, and salt. Heat briefly until sugar dissolves, then fold this mixture into the cooked rice. Allow it to cool to room temperature.

  3. 3

    Prepare Fillings

    Mash the avocado in a bowl and mix it with the drained canned tuna. Season with salt to taste.

  4. 4

    Assemble the Rolls

    Place a nori sheet on a bamboo sushi mat, shiny side down. With wet hands, spread a thin layer of sushi rice over the nori, leaving a 1-inch border at the top. Place a line of the tuna and avocado mixture along the bottom edge of the rice. Optionally, sprinkle sesame seeds on top.

  5. 5

    Roll the Sushi

    Using the mat, carefully roll the sushi away from you, pressing gently to keep the roll tight. Once rolled, use a sharp knife to slice the roll into bite-sized pieces.

  6. 6

    Serve

    Arrange the sushi pieces on a plate, drizzle with soy sauce, and serve with wasabi on the side.
