Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 200 grams Sushi-grade tuna
- 1 medium Avocado
- 2 cups Sushi rice
- 4 tablespoons Rice vinegar
- 1 tablespoon Sugar
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 4 pieces Nori sheets
- 5 tablespoons Soy sauce
- 1 teaspoon Wasabi
- 50 grams Pickled ginger
- 1 tablespoon Sesame seeds
Instructions
Rinse the sushi rice under cold water until the water runs clear. Cook the rice according to the package instructions or using a rice cooker.
While the rice is cooking, in a small saucepan, combine the rice vinegar, sugar, and salt over medium heat. Stir until the sugar dissolves. Remove from heat and let it cool.
Once the rice is cooked, transfer it to a large bowl and gently fold in the vinegar mixture. Spread the rice out to cool down to room temperature.
Cut the sushi-grade tuna into long, thin strips, about 1 cm (0.4 inches) thick.
Peel the avocado and remove the pit. Slice the avocado into thin strips.
Lay a bamboo sushi mat on a flat surface and place a nori sheet, shiny side down, on the mat.
Moisten your hands with water to prevent the rice from sticking. Spread about 1/2 cup of sushi rice over the nori, leaving a 2 cm (0.8 inches) border on the top edge.
Sprinkle the rice with sesame seeds for added texture and flavor.
Place the tuna and avocado slices horizontally across the middle of the rice.
Using the sushi mat, carefully roll the sushi from the bottom (closest to you) to the top, applying gentle pressure to form a tight roll. Moisten the top border with water to seal the roll.
Repeat the process with the remaining nori sheets and fillings.
Slice each sushi roll into 6-8 pieces using a sharp knife. Clean the knife with a damp cloth between cuts to keep the slices tidy.
Serve the sushi rolls with soy sauce, a dab of wasabi, and pickled ginger on the side.
