Method

Prepare Sushi Rice

Rinse and Cook the Rice

Rinse 1 cup of sushi rice under cold water until the water runs clear. Combine the rinsed rice and 1.25 cups of water in a rice cooker. Cook according to the rice cooker instructions or boil in a pot, then simmer covered for 20 minutes.

Season the Rice

Once the rice is cooked, transfer it to a large bowl. In a separate small bowl, mix 2 tablespoons of rice vinegar, 1 teaspoon of sugar, and 0.5 teaspoon of salt until dissolved. Pour this mixture over the warm rice and gently fold to combine. Let it cool to room temperature.

Prepare Filling

Mix the Tuna Filling

In a medium bowl, combine 1 cup of drained canned tuna, 2 tablespoons of sriracha sauce, 1 tablespoon of mayonnaise, 2 tablespoons of chopped green onions, and 0.5 teaspoon of sesame oil. Mix well until everything is evenly combined.

Assemble Sushi Rolls

Lay Out the Nori

Place a bamboo sushi mat on a clean surface. Lay a sheet of nori, shiny side down, on the mat.

Spread the Rice

Wet your hands to prevent sticking. Take a handful of the sushi rice and spread it evenly over the nori, leaving about 1 inch of space at the top edge.

Add Filling and Vegetables

Place a line of the tuna mixture across the center of the rice. Add slices of avocado and julienned cucumber on top of the tuna.

Roll the Sushi

Using the bamboo mat, roll the sushi away from you, applying gentle pressure to form a tight roll. Seal the edge with a little water if necessary.

Slice and Serve

Using a sharp knife, slice the roll into 6-8 pieces. Serve with soy sauce, pickled ginger, and wasabi on the side.
