Method
Prepare Sushi Rice
- 1
Rinse and Cook Rice
Rinse the sushi rice under cold water until the water runs clear. In a medium saucepan, combine the rinsed rice and 2.5 cups of water. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat, then reduce to low, cover, and simmer for 20 minutes or until the water is absorbed.

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

Prepare Nori and Roll
Place a bamboo sushi mat on a flat surface. Lay a sheet of nori, shiny side down, on the mat. With wet hands, spread a thin layer of sushi rice over the nori, leaving about 1 inch at the top edge. Place a line of the tuna filling across the center of the rice.

Roll the Sushi
Using the bamboo mat, carefully roll the sushi away from you, applying gentle pressure to form a tight roll. Wet the top edge of the nori with a little water to seal the roll.

Cut and Serve
