Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup Sushi rice
- 1.5 cups Water
- 1 can (5 oz) Canned tuna in water
- 1 ripe Avocado
- 2 tablespoons Gluten-free soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons Rice vinegar
- 1 tablespoon Sugar
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 5 full-size Nori sheets
- 2 tablespoons Mayonnaise
- 2 tablespoons Toasted sesame seeds
Instructions
Rinse the sushi rice under cold water until the water runs clear, then drain well.
In a medium saucepan, combine the rinsed sushi rice and water. Bring the mixture to a boil over high heat, then reduce the heat to low, cover, and simmer for 15 minutes or until the water is absorbed.
Remove the saucepan from heat and let it sit, covered, for 10 minutes to ensure the rice is fully cooked.
In a small bowl, mix the rice vinegar, sugar, and salt. Gently stir this mixture into the cooked rice until well combined. Set the seasoned rice aside to cool.
Drain the canned tuna and flake it in a bowl. Mix in the mayonnaise and 1 tablespoon of gluten-free soy sauce for flavor.
Peel and pit the avocado, then slice it into thin strips suitable for filling a sushi roll.
Place a bamboo sushi mat on a clean surface and lay a nori sheet, shiny side down, on the mat.
With wet hands to prevent sticking, spread a thin, even layer of sushi rice over the nori, leaving a 1-inch border at the top edge.
Sprinkle toasted sesame seeds over the rice for added flavor and texture.
Place a few slices of avocado and a portion of the tuna mixture horizontally across the center of the rice.
Using the bamboo mat, carefully roll the sushi away from you, applying gentle but firm pressure to form a tight roll. Seal the edge with a little water.
Repeat this process with the remaining nori sheets, rice, tuna mixture, and avocado slices.
Using a sharp knife, slice each roll into bite-sized pieces.
Serve the gluten-free avocado tuna sushi rolls with additional gluten-free soy sauce on the side for dipping.
