Chutoro Recipe

Preparation Steps

1. 1

   Prepare Sushi Rice

   Rinse the sushi rice under cold water until the water runs clear. Cook the rice according to the package instructions. Once cooked, transfer to a bowl and let it cool slightly.

2. 2

   Season Rice

   In a small bowl, mix the rice vinegar, sugar, and salt until dissolved. Drizzle this mixture over the warm sushi rice and gently fold to combine. Allow the rice to cool to room temperature.

3. 3

   Slice Chutoro

   Using a sharp knife, slice the chutoro tuna into thin pieces, about 1/4 inch thick. Arrange the slices on a plate.

4. 4

   Assemble Sushi

   Take a sheet of nori and place a handful of sushi rice on top, spreading it evenly. Lay a few slices of chutoro on top of the rice. Optionally, you can add a small amount of wasabi.

5. 5

   Roll Sushi

   Using a bamboo sushi mat, carefully roll the nori over the rice and chutoro, tucking it in tightly. Slice the roll into bite-sized pieces.

6. 6

   Serve

   Serve the chutoro sushi with soy sauce and pickled ginger on the side.
