Hawaii Recipe

Rinse the Rice

In a fine mesh strainer, rinse the sushi rice under cold water until the water runs clear to remove excess starch.

Cook the Rice

In a large pot, combine the rinsed rice and 2.5 cups of water. Bring to a boil over medium heat, then reduce to low and cover. Cook for 18-20 minutes or until the water is absorbed.

Prepare Seasoning

In a small bowl, mix together the rice vinegar, sugar, and salt until dissolved.

Combine Rice and Seasoning

Once the rice is cooked, remove it from heat and let it sit covered for 10 minutes. Then, transfer the rice to a large bowl and gently fold in the vinegar mixture. Let it cool to room temperature.

Slice the Ahi Tuna

Using a sharp knife, slice the Ahi tuna into thin sashimi-style pieces.

Prepare the Avocado

Cut the avocado in half, remove the pit, and scoop the flesh out with a spoon. Slice into thin pieces.

Combine Sauce Ingredients

In a small bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, wasabi, and sesame oil until well combined. Set aside.

Plate the Ingredients

On a plate or bowl, spread a generous portion of sushi rice. Arrange the sliced Ahi tuna, avocado, and seaweed salad on top.

Add Garnishes

Sprinkle sesame seeds over the dish and add a side of pickled ginger.

Drizzle Sauce

Drizzle the prepared soy sauce mixture over the assembled ingredients.
