Ingredients for Spicy Tuna Roll

Method

Directions for Making Spicy Tuna Roll

  1. 1

    Prepare the Sushi Rice

    Rinse the sushi rice under cold water until the water runs clear. Combine the rinsed rice and water in a rice cooker and cook according to the manufacturer's instructions. Once cooked, let it cool slightly.

  2. 2

    Make the Spicy Tuna Mixture

    In a bowl, mix the diced fresh tuna with mayonnaise and sriracha sauce. Adjust the amount of sriracha to your desired level of spiciness.

  3. 3

    Prepare the Rolling Station

    Place a bamboo sushi mat on a flat surface and lay a sheet of nori on the mat, shiny side down.

  4. 4

    Assemble the Roll

    Wet your hands to prevent sticking. Take a handful of sushi rice and spread it evenly over the nori, leaving a small border at the top. Place a line of the spicy tuna mixture in the center of the rice.

  5. 5

    Roll the Sushi

    Using the bamboo mat, carefully roll the sushi away from you, applying gentle pressure to form a tight roll. Moisten the edge of the nori with water to seal the roll.

  6. 6

    Slice the Roll

    Using a sharp knife, slice the roll into 6-8 pieces. Wipe the knife with a damp cloth between cuts to ensure clean slices.

  7. 7

    Serve

    Arrange the sushi pieces on a plate and garnish with sesame seeds, wasabi, and pickled ginger. Serve with soy sauce on the side.
