Sushi Rice

Method

Prepare Sushi Rice

  1. 1

    Rinse and Cook Rice

    Rinse the sushi rice under cold water until the water runs clear. In a rice cooker, combine the rinsed sushi rice and 1.25 cups of water. Cook according to the rice cooker's instructions.

  2. 2

    Season Rice

    Once cooked, transfer the rice to a large bowl. Mix rice vinegar, sugar, and salt in a separate bowl until dissolved. Pour this mixture over the warm rice and gently fold with a wooden spatula until the rice is seasoned. Let it cool to room temperature.

Make Spicy Tuna Filling

  1. 3

    Combine Ingredients

    In a medium bowl, combine the diced fresh tuna, mayonnaise, Sriracha sauce, chopped green onions, and sesame oil. Mix well until all ingredients are thoroughly combined.

Roll Assembly

  1. 4

    Prepare Nori and Rice

    Place a bamboo sushi mat on a clean surface and lay a sheet of nori on top, shiny side down. With wet hands, take about 1/2 cup of sushi rice and spread it evenly over the nori, leaving about 1 inch at the top edge.

  2. 5

    Add Filling

    Spread an even layer of the spicy tuna filling across the rice, followed by a few slices of avocado and julienned cucumber.

  3. 6

    Roll the Sushi

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

  4. 7

    Slice and Serve

    Sprinkle panko breadcrumbs on top of the roll and press gently. Using a sharp knife, slice the roll into 8 equal pieces. Drizzle with spicy mayo and serve immediately.
