Method
Preparation Steps
Prepare Sushi Rice
Rinse the sushi rice under cold water until the water runs clear. Combine the rice and water in a pot, bring to a boil, then reduce to a simmer, cover and cook for 20 minutes. Remove from heat and let it sit, covered, for an additional 10 minutes.
Season the Rice
In a small bowl, combine rice vinegar, sugar, and salt. Heat in the microwave for about 30 seconds until sugar dissolves. Once the rice is cooked, transfer it to a large bowl and gently fold in the vinegar mixture. Allow to cool to room temperature.
Slice the Tuna
Using a sharp knife, slice the fresh tuna into thin strips, about 1/4 inch thick.
Assemble the Sushi
Place a bamboo sushi mat on a flat surface. Lay a nori sheet on the mat, shiny side down. Wet your hands and take a handful of sushi rice, spreading it evenly over the nori, leaving about 1 inch at the top edge. Lay a few strips of tuna in a line 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. Seal the edge of the nori with a little water.
Cut and Serve
Using a sharp knife, slice the sushi roll into 6-8 pieces. Serve with soy sauce, wasabi, and pickled ginger.
