Sushi Roll Ingredients

Spicy Aioli Ingredients

Method

Preparing the Sushi Rolls

  1. 1

    Cook the Sushi Rice

    Rinse sushi rice under cold water until the water runs clear. Cook according to package instructions. Once done, let it cool and season with rice vinegar.

  2. 2

    Assemble the Sushi Roll

    Lay a nori sheet on a bamboo mat, shiny side down. Spread a thin layer of sushi rice over the nori, leaving a 1-inch border at the top. Place a few slices of ahi tuna, cucumber, and avocado in the center.

  3. 3

    Roll the Sushi

    Using the mat, carefully roll the sushi away from you, pressing gently to form a tight roll. Seal the edge of the nori with a little water.

  4. 4

    Slice the Roll

    Using a sharp knife, slice the roll into 6-8 pieces. Repeat with remaining ingredients.

  5. 5

    Add Tempura Flakes

    Coat the outside of the sushi roll with tempura flakes for added crunch.

Making the Spicy Aioli

  1. 6

    Mix Ingredients

    In a small bowl, combine mayonnaise, Sriracha, lemon juice, minced garlic, and salt. Mix well until smooth.
