Spicy Tuna Roll Recipe

Directions

1. 1

   Prepare Sushi Rice

   Rinse the sushi rice under cold water until the water runs clear. Cook the rice according to package instructions. Once cooked, mix rice vinegar, sugar, and salt in a small bowl until dissolved, and fold this mixture into the cooked rice. Allow the rice to cool.

2. 2

   Prepare the Filling

   In a bowl, mix diced tuna with half of the unagi sauce and togarashi seasoning. Set aside.

3. 3

   Assemble the Roll

   Place a bamboo sushi mat on a flat surface. Lay a nori sheet on the mat, shiny side down. Wet your hands and take a handful of sushi rice, spreading it evenly over the nori, leaving a 1-inch border at the top. Layer the tuna mixture, cucumber, and avocado slices in the center of the rice.

4. 4

   Roll the Sushi

   Using the bamboo mat, carefully roll the sushi away from you, applying gentle pressure to shape it into a cylinder. Seal the edge of the nori with a little water.

5. 5

   Slice and Serve

   Using a sharp knife, slice the roll into 6-8 pieces. Drizzle with remaining unagi sauce and sprinkle with extra togarashi. Serve with soy sauce or pickled ginger if desired.
