Season Rice
Once cooked, remove from heat and let sit, covered, for 10 minutes. In a small bowl, mix rice vinegar, sugar, and salt until dissolved. Stir this mixture into the rice gently, and let cool to room temperature.

Add Tuna Filling
Place a line of the spicy tuna filling across the center of the rice-covered nori.
