Sushi Roll Ingredients

Topping Ingredients

Method

Prepare the Sushi Rice

1

Cook the Rice

Rinse sushi rice under cold water until the water runs clear. Cook according to package instructions, typically using 1 cup of rice to 1.2 cups of water.

2

Season the Rice

Once cooked, transfer rice to a bowl and mix in rice vinegar, a pinch of salt, and sugar to taste. Allow to cool.

Assemble the Roll

3

Lay Nori

Place a sheet of nori on a bamboo sushi mat, shiny side down.

4

Spread Rice

Wet your hands and take a handful of sushi rice, spreading it evenly over the nori, leaving about 1 inch at the top.

5

Add Fillings

In the center, layer chopped shrimp, sliced avocado, and julienned cucumber.

6

Roll the Sushi

Using the mat, carefully roll the sushi away from you, applying gentle pressure to keep it tight. Seal the edge with a bit of water.

Prepare the Topping

7

Slice Tuna

Thinly slice the sashimi-grade tuna.

8

Prepare Avocado

Slice the small avocado for topping.

Finish and Serve

10

Garnish

Drizzle spicy mayo over the top, sprinkle with sesame seeds and chopped green onions, and serve with soy sauce on the side.
