Sushi Ingredients

Method

Preparation Steps

  1. 1

    Prepare Sushi Rice

    Rinse the sushi rice under cold water until the water runs clear. Cook the rice according to package instructions, usually using a rice cooker or a pot with a tight-fitting lid. Once cooked, let it cool slightly.

  2. 2

    Mix Tuna Filling

    In a bowl, combine the drained tuna with mayonnaise. Mix well until combined. Season with soy sauce to taste.

  3. 3

    Assemble the Roll

    Place a nori sheet, shiny side down, on a bamboo sushi mat. Wet your hands to prevent sticking and take about a handful of sushi rice, spreading it evenly over the nori, leaving a 1-inch border at the top.

  4. 4

    Add Tuna Filling

    Spoon a line of the tuna mixture across the center of the rice.

  5. 5

    Roll It Up

    Using the bamboo mat, start rolling the sushi away from you, applying gentle pressure to keep the roll tight. Roll until the nori edge meets the rice. Use a little water to seal the edge.

  6. 6

    Slice and Serve

    With a sharp knife, slice the roll into bite-sized pieces. Sprinkle sesame seeds on top. Serve with soy sauce, wasabi, and pickled ginger.
