Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 large Cucumber
- 4 sheets Seaweed sheets (nori)
- 150 grams Fresh tuna (sashimi-grade)
- 1 medium Avocado
- 60 grams Cream cheese
- 30 milliliters Soy sauce (low sodium)
- 5 grams Wasabi (optional)
- 20 grams Pickled ginger
Instructions
Wash the cucumber and use a vegetable peeler or mandoline to slice it lengthwise into thin, flat strips. These will serve as the base instead of rice.
Using a sharp knife, cut the sashimi-grade tuna into thin strips approximately 1/2 cm thick.
Peel and slice the avocado into thin strips, ensuring they are easy to roll and lay flat.
Lay one sheet of nori on a flat surface, shiny side down.
Place a few cucumber strips horizontally across the nori sheet to act as the first layer.
Spread a thin layer of cream cheese on top of the cucumber using a butter knife or the back of a spoon.
Layer the sliced tuna and avocado lengthwise across the bottom third of the nori sheet. Be careful not to overfill.
Using your hands or a sushi mat, roll the nori tightly over the filling, applying gentle pressure to create a compact roll. Seal the edge by lightly wetting the end of the nori with water.
Repeat this process for the remaining nori sheets and ingredients.
Once all rolls are assembled, use a sharp knife to slice each roll into 6-8 bite-sized pieces. Wipe the knife clean with a damp cloth between cuts to ensure clean edges.
Serve immediately with low sodium soy sauce, wasabi, and pickled ginger on the side for dipping and garnish.
