Tuna Dragon Roll Recipe

Preparation Instructions

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, transfer to a bowl and mix with rice vinegar, sugar, and salt. Allow to cool.

2. 2

   Prepare the Fillings

   Slice the cucumber and avocado into thin strips. Cut the fresh tuna into thin slices.

   Assemble the California Roll

   Place a nori sheet on a bamboo sushi mat. Wet your hands and spread about 1/2 cup of sushi rice evenly over the nori, leaving a small border at the top. Layer the imitation crab, cucumber, and avocado 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. Seal the edge of the nori with a little water.
