Spicy Tuna Roll Recipe

Cook the Rice

Rinse the sushi rice under cold water until the water runs clear. Cook rice according to package instructions, typically in a rice cooker or on the stove with 2 cups of water.

Season the Rice

Once cooked, transfer rice to a large bowl. Mix rice vinegar into the rice while it's still warm. Allow it to cool to room temperature.

Blend Ingredients

In a bowl, whisk together mayonnaise, chipotle peppers, lime juice, and minced garlic until smooth and well combined. Set aside.

Fry Wontons

Heat vegetable oil in a deep pan over medium heat. Cut wonton wrappers into triangles and fry in batches until golden brown and crispy. Drain on paper towels.

Prep the Fillings

Slice the Bigeye Ahi Tuna and cucumber into thin strips.

Roll the Sushi

Place a sheet of nori on a bamboo sushi mat. Spread a layer of sushi rice over the nori, leaving a 1-inch border at the top. Add a line of tuna and cucumber in the center. Drizzle some chipotle aioli over the filling.

Roll and Cut

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. Slice into 6-8 pieces and serve with extra chipotle aioli and wonton crunch on the side.
