Sushi Ingredients
Method
Preparation
Prepare Sushi Rice
Rinse 2 cups of sushi rice under cold water until the water runs clear. Cook according to package instructions. Once cooked, let it cool and season with rice vinegar, sugar, and salt.
Prepare Spicy Tuna Mix
In a bowl, mix diced raw tuna with mayonnaise, sriracha, and a pinch of salt. Adjust spiciness to taste.
Slice Avocado
Cut the avocado in half, remove the pit, and slice it thinly.
Assembly
Roll the Sushi
On a bamboo sushi mat, place a sheet of nori. Wet your hands and spread a thin layer of sushi rice over the nori, leaving a small border at the top. Layer shrimp tempura, spicy tuna mix, avocado, smoked salmon, and unagi in the center.
Form the Roll
Using the bamboo mat, carefully roll the sushi away from you, applying gentle pressure to form a tight roll. Seal the edge with a little water.
Add Tempura Flakes
Sprinkle tempura flakes on top of the sushi roll for a crunchy texture.
Slice and Serve
Cut the roll into 8 pieces with a sharp knife. Serve with soy sauce, wasabi, and pickled ginger on the side.
