Tuna & Avocado Roll* Recipe

Directions

1. 1

   Prepare the Sushi Rice

   Rinse the sushi rice under cold water until the water runs clear. Combine the rinsed rice and water in a rice cooker or pot. Cook according to the rice cooker's instructions or bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for about 20 minutes until the water is absorbed. Remove from heat and let it sit covered for another 10 minutes.

2. 2

   Season the Rice

   In a small bowl, mix the rice vinegar, sugar, and salt until dissolved. Once the rice has rested, transfer it to a large bowl and gently fold in the vinegar mixture. Let the rice cool to room temperature.

3. 3

   Assemble the Roll

   Lay a sheet of nori on a bamboo sushi mat, shiny side down. Wet your hands to prevent sticking and grab a handful of sushi rice. Spread it evenly over the nori, leaving about 1 inch of space at the top. Place a line of drained tuna and sliced avocado in the center of the rice.

4. 4

   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. Repeat with the remaining sheets.

5. 5

   Slice and Serve

   Using a sharp knife, slice each roll into bite-sized pieces. Sprinkle sesame seeds on top and serve with soy sauce and wasabi on the side.
