Sushi Ingredients

Method

Preparation Steps

  1. 1

    Prepare Sushi Rice

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

  2. 2

    Make Spicy Tuna Filling

    In a bowl, combine the diced tuna, Sriracha, and mayonnaise. Mix well to coat the tuna evenly.

  3. 3

    Prepare Nori and Fill

    Lay a nori sheet shiny side down on a bamboo sushi mat. Wet your hands with water to prevent sticking and grab a handful of sushi rice. Spread the rice evenly over the nori, leaving a 1-inch border at the top.

  4. 4

    Add Fillings

    Place a line of spicy tuna filling, julienned cucumber, and avocado slices along the bottom edge of the rice-covered nori.

  5. 5

    Roll the Sushi

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

  6. 6

    Slice and Serve

    With a sharp knife, slice the roll into 6-8 pieces. Sprinkle with sesame seeds and serve with soy sauce.
