Ingredients

Method

Directions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Tuna

    Heat sesame oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Sear the tuna for about 1-2 minutes on each side until the outside is browned but the inside remains rare. Remove from heat and let it rest.

  2. 2

    Prepare the Filling

    Finely chop the green onions and garlic. Mix them in a bowl and set aside.

  3. 3

    Assemble the Roll

    Lay a nori sheet on a bamboo sushi mat. Spread a thin layer of sushi rice over the nori, leaving a small border at the top. Place a few slices of seared tuna and a spoonful of the green onion and garlic mixture along the bottom edge of the rice.

  4. 4

    Roll It Up

    Using the bamboo mat, carefully roll the sushi away from you, pressing gently to keep the roll tight. Once rolled, use a sharp knife to slice the roll into 6-8 pieces.

  5. 5

    Serve

    Arrange the sushi rolls on a plate, serve with soy sauce, wasabi, and pickled ginger on the side.
