Ingredients for Spicy Tuna Roll
Method
Directions for Making Spicy Tuna Roll
- 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.

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.

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
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.

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.

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.

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