Sushi Rice

Maki Assembly

Method

Prepare Sushi Rice

  1. 1

    Rinse and Cook Rice

    Rinse the sushi rice under cold water until the water runs clear. Combine rinsed rice and water in a rice cooker and cook according to the manufacturer's instructions.

  2. 2

    Season Rice

    Once cooked, transfer the rice to a large bowl. In a small bowl, mix rice vinegar, sugar, and salt until dissolved. Pour over the rice and gently fold to combine. Let it cool to room temperature.

Prepare Spicy Tuna Filling

  1. 3

    Mix Ingredients

    In a medium bowl, combine sushi-grade tuna, Sriracha sauce, mayonnaise, sesame oil, and chopped green onions. Mix well until the tuna is evenly coated. Set aside.

Prepare Crispy Beef

  1. 4

    Marinate Beef

    In a bowl, combine thinly sliced beef with soy sauce, salt, and black pepper. Allow it to marinate for about 15 minutes.

  2. 5

    Coat with Cornstarch

    After marinating, coat the beef pieces in cornstarch, shaking off any excess.

  3. 6

    Fry Beef

    In a large frying pan or wok, heat vegetable oil over medium-high heat. Fry the coated beef in batches until golden brown and crispy, about 3-4 minutes per batch. Drain on paper towels.

Assemble Maki

  1. 7

    Lay Out Nori

    Place a sheet of nori on a bamboo sushi mat, shiny side down.

  2. 8

    Add Rice

    With wet hands, spread a layer of sushi rice over the nori, leaving a 1-inch border at the top.

  3. 9

    Add Fillings

    Place a line of spicy tuna and crispy beef in the center of the rice.

  4. 10

    Roll Maki

    Using the bamboo mat, carefully roll the nori away from you, pressing gently to form a tight roll. Seal the edge with a little water.

  5. 11

    Slice and Serve

    Slice the roll into 6-8 pieces. Serve with pickled ginger, soy sauce, and wasabi.
