Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 200 grams Sushi-grade tuna
- 300 grams Cooked sushi rice
- 2 sheets Nori (seaweed sheets)
- 2 tablespoons Low-fat mayonnaise
- 1 tablespoon Sriracha sauce
- 1 tablespoon Rice vinegar
- 1 tablespoon Soy sauce (low-sodium)
- 0.5 Cucumber
- 0.5 Avocado
- 1 teaspoon Sesame seeds
- 0.5 teaspoon Wasabi paste
- 2 tablespoons Optional pickled ginger (for serving)
Instructions
Prepare the sushi rice by mixing the cooked rice with rice vinegar and gently fluffing it. Let it cool to room temperature.
Dice the sushi-grade tuna into small cubes and place in a bowl.
In a separate small bowl, mix the low-fat mayonnaise and Sriracha sauce to create a spicy mayo. Add the mixture to the tuna and toss to coat evenly. Set aside.
Slice the cucumber and avocado into thin strips, ensuring they are the appropriate size to fit inside a sushi roll.
Lay a sheet of nori shiny-side down on a bamboo sushi mat covered with plastic wrap.
Spread an even layer of sushi rice over the nori, leaving about 1 inch at the top edge uncovered to seal the roll later.
Sprinkle sesame seeds evenly over the rice for added texture and flavor.
Flip the nori sheet so the rice faces down. On the uncovered nori side, place a line of spicy tuna mixture, along with a few strips of cucumber and avocado.
Carefully roll the sushi using the bamboo mat, applying gentle but firm pressure to create a tight roll.
Seal the roll by moistening the exposed edge of the nori with a bit of water and pressing it to close the roll securely.
Use a sharp knife dipped in water to slice the sushi roll into 6-8 equal pieces, wiping the knife with a damp towel between cuts for clean slices.
Repeat the process with the second nori sheet to create another roll.
Serve the spicy tuna sushi rolls with soy sauce, wasabi paste, and optional pickled ginger on the side.
