Fresh Roll Ingredients
Method
Preparation Instructions
- 1
Prepare the Ingredients
Start by preparing all your ingredients. Slice the sushi-grade tuna into thin strips and the avocado into slices. Make sure your sushi rice is cooked and cooled.

Assemble the Roll
Lay a sheet of nori on a bamboo sushi mat or a clean surface. Wet your hands to prevent sticking and take about 1/4 cup of sushi rice and spread it evenly over the nori, leaving about 1 inch at the top edge.

Add Fillings
Place a few strips of tuna and slices of avocado horizontally across the center of the rice-covered nori.

Roll the Sushi
Using the bamboo mat, carefully lift the edge of the mat closest to you and start rolling it away from you, applying gentle pressure to keep the roll tight. Roll until the filling is fully enclosed, then moisten the edge of the nori with a little water to seal the roll.

Slice the Roll
With a sharp knife, slice the roll into 6-8 pieces. Wipe the knife with a damp cloth between cuts for cleaner slices.

Garnish and Serve
Sprinkle sesame seeds on top of the sushi rolls. Serve with soy sauce, wasabi, and pickled ginger on the side.
