Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 can (5 oz) Canned tuna (packed in water)
- 2 tbsp Mayonnaise
- 1 tsp Soy sauce (or coconut aminos for a keto-friendly alternative)
- 1 medium Avocado
- 0.5 medium Cucumber
- 4 sheets Nori sheets
- 1 tsp Sesame seeds
- 1 tsp Optional: Wasabi
- 1 tbsp Optional: Pickled ginger
Instructions
Drain the canned tuna thoroughly and add to a mixing bowl.
Mix the tuna with the mayonnaise and soy sauce (or coconut aminos) until combined. Add the optional wasabi at this point if you prefer some heat. Set the mixture aside.
Peel and slice the avocado into thin strips. Slice the cucumber into matchstick-sized pieces.
Lay a sheet of nori on a clean, flat surface, shiny side down. If you have a bamboo sushi mat, place the nori on the mat for easier rolling.
Spread a thin layer of the tuna mixture along one edge of the nori, leaving about 1 inch of space at the opposite edge for sealing.
Arrange a few avocado strips and cucumber matchsticks on top of the tuna mixture.
Carefully roll the nori tightly from the filled edge toward the empty edge, using light pressure to create a firm roll. Wet the empty edge with a tiny amount of water to seal the roll.
Repeat the process with the remaining ingredients to create 4 rolls.
Using a sharp knife, slice each roll into bite-sized pieces, wiping the blade clean between cuts for neat slices.
Sprinkle sesame seeds over the top of the rolls for garnish. Serve with optional pickled ginger and additional soy sauce or coconut aminos for dipping.
