Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 200 grams Sushi-grade tuna
- 1 large Avocado
- 300 grams Cooked sushi rice
- 2 tablespoons Rice vinegar
- 4 sheets Nori (seaweed sheets)
- 2 tablespoons Soy sauce
- 1 teaspoon Wasabi (optional)
- 4 slices Pickled ginger
- 1 tablespoon Sesame seeds
Instructions
Prepare the sushi rice by seasoning 300 grams of cooked rice with 2 tablespoons of rice vinegar, mixing gently to avoid smashing the grains. Allow it to cool to room temperature.
Slice the sushi-grade tuna into long, thin strips, approximately 1 cm in width. Ensure each piece is even for a consistent roll.
Cut the avocado in half, remove the pit, peel, and slice it into thin strips.
Lay one sheet of nori on a bamboo sushi mat, shiny side down. Wet your fingers with water to prevent sticking.
Spread a thin, even layer of sushi rice over the nori, leaving about 2 cm of space at the top edge to seal the roll later.
Sprinkle a small amount of sesame seeds over the rice for added texture and flavor.
Arrange tuna slices and avocado strips horizontally across the center of the rice layer.
Using the bamboo mat, carefully roll the nori over the filling, pressing gently to form a tight roll. Seal the edge with a small amount of water if needed.
Repeat the process for the remaining nori sheets and filling ingredients.
Using a sharp knife, slice each roll into 6-8 equal pieces. Wipe the knife with a damp towel between cuts for clean slices.
Serve the sushi rolls with soy sauce, wasabi (optional), and pickled ginger on the side.
