Maki Roll Ingredients

Soy Mustard Butter Sauce Ingredients

Method

Preparing the Maki Roll

  1. 1

    Prepare the Sushi Rice

    Rinse the sushi rice under cold water until the water runs clear. Cook the rice according to package instructions. Once cooked, mix in the rice vinegar and let it cool.

  2. 2

    Prepare the Vegetables

    Julienne the cucumber, avocado, and carrot into thin strips.

  3. 3

    Assemble the Maki Roll

    Place a nori sheet on a bamboo sushi mat. Spread a thin layer of sushi rice over the nori, leaving about 1 inch at the top. Arrange the julienned vegetables and sliced ahi tuna in the center. Sprinkle with sesame seeds.

  4. 4

    Roll the Maki

    Using the bamboo mat, carefully roll the nori away from you, pressing gently to form a tight roll. Seal the edge of the nori with a bit of water. Repeat with remaining ingredients.

Making the Soy Mustard Butter Sauce

  1. 5

    Combine Sauce Ingredients

    In a small saucepan, combine soy sauce, Dijon mustard, and lemon juice. Heat over medium-low heat, then whisk in the butter until melted and the sauce is smooth.
