Sushi Roll Ingredients

Method

Preparing Sushi Rice

  1. 1

    Cook the Sushi Rice

    Rinse the sushi rice under cold water until the water runs clear. Cook the rice according to the package instructions. Once cooked, let it cool to room temperature.

  2. 2

    Season the Rice

    In a small bowl, mix rice vinegar, sugar, and salt until dissolved. Fold this mixture into the cooled rice gently.

Making Wasabi Aioli

  1. 3

    Mix Ingredients

    In a bowl, combine mayonnaise, wasabi paste, lemon juice, and salt. Whisk until smooth and adjust seasoning to taste.

Assembling the Sushi Roll

  1. 4

    Prepare the Ahi Tuna

    Slice the ahi tuna into thin strips.

  2. 5

    Roll the Sushi

    Place a nori sheet on a bamboo sushi mat. Wet your hands and spread an even layer of sushi rice over the nori, leaving about 1 inch at the top. Place kabayaki sauce, ahi tuna strips, green onions, and sesame seeds in a line across the center. Roll the sushi tightly using the mat.

  3. 6

    Slice and Serve

    Using a sharp knife, slice the sushi roll into 6-8 pieces. Drizzle with additional kabayaki sauce, sprinkle with tobiko, and serve with wasabi aioli on the side.
