Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 120 grams Fresh tuna (sashimi grade)
- 1 medium Avocado
- 1 large Cucumber
- 2 tablespoons Mayonnaise
- 1 teaspoon Sriracha sauce
- 2 tablespoons Soy sauce (low sodium, optional for dipping)
- 1 teaspoon Sesame seeds (optional)
- 1 stalk Green onion (optional for garnish)
Instructions
1. Prepare the spicy tuna mixture: Finely dice the sashimi-grade tuna into small cubes and place in a bowl. Add the mayonnaise and sriracha sauce, then mix until evenly combined. Set aside.
2. Slice the avocado: Cut the avocado in half, remove the pit, and scoop the flesh out of the skin. Slice the avocado into thin strips, about 0.5 cm thick.
3. Prepare the cucumber: Use a vegetable peeler or mandoline slicer to create thin, wide ribbons of cucumber. These will act as the 'wrappers' for the sushi. Pat the cucumber slices dry with a paper towel to remove excess moisture.
4. Assemble the sushi: Lay a cucumber ribbon flat on a clean surface. Place a small scoop of the spicy tuna mixture at one end of the ribbon, followed by a slice or two of avocado. Carefully roll the cucumber around the filling to form a tight sushi roll.
5. Repeat the process: Continue until you've used up all the spicy tuna mixture and avocado slices.
6. Garnish and serve: Arrange the sushi rolls on a serving plate. Sprinkle with sesame seeds and finely sliced green onion if desired. Serve with low-sodium soy sauce for dipping, if preferred.
