Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 can Canned tuna (in water, drained)
- 2 tablespoons Mayonnaise
- 1 tablespoon Sriracha
- 1 cup Cooked sushi rice
- 2 sheets Nori sheets (seaweed sheets)
- 1 small Cucumber, julienned
- 0.5 whole Avocado, sliced
- 2 tablespoons Soy sauce (for dipping)
- 1 teaspoon Optional sesame seeds (for garnish)
Instructions
1. In a small bowl, mix the drained canned tuna with mayonnaise and sriracha until evenly combined. Adjust the level of spiciness by adding more or less sriracha to your taste.
2. Prepare your station by laying out the nori sheets on a clean, flat surface. If desired, you can lightly toast the nori sheets over a gas flame for a second to enhance flavor.
3. Divide the cooked sushi rice evenly between the two nori sheets and spread it in a thin, even layer over one side of each sheet, leaving about 1 inch of space at the top.
4. Place a thin layer of the spicy tuna mixture along the bottom edge of each sheet, followed by julienned cucumber and sliced avocado.
5. Starting from the bottom edge where the filling is, gently roll the nori over the filling, pressing as you go to form a compact roll. Wet the top edge of the nori with a bit of water to seal the roll.
6. Slice each roll into bite-sized pieces with a sharp knife. Clean the knife with a damp cloth after every cut for clean slices.
7. Arrange on a plate, sprinkle with sesame seeds (if using), and serve with soy sauce for dipping.
