Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 sheets Nori seaweed sheets
- 2 large Avocados
- 200 grams Fresh tuna (sashimi-grade)
- 1 large Cucumber
- 100 grams Cream cheese
- 2 tablespoons Soy sauce (gluten-free, optional for dipping)
- 2 tablespoons Pickled ginger (optional, for serving)
- 1 teaspoon Wasabi (optional, for serving)
Instructions
1. Prepare the avocado spread: Peel and pit the avocados, then mash them in a bowl until smooth, resembling the consistency of mashed potatoes. Set aside.
2. Slice the tuna: Cut the sashimi-grade tuna into thin, 4-inch-long strips. Set aside.
3. Prepare the cucumber: Peel the cucumber if desired, then cut it into thin matchstick-sized pieces, about 4 inches long.
4. Lay out a nori sheet, shiny side down, on a bamboo sushi mat or a clean surface.
5. Spread a thin, even layer of the mashed avocado across two-thirds of the nori sheet, leaving the top third uncovered to allow for sealing.
6. Add the fillings: Lay a strip of tuna, a few cucumber matchsticks, and a thin line of cream cheese horizontally across the center of the avocado layer.
7. Roll the sushi: Using the sushi mat or your hands, carefully roll the nori from the bottom edge, tightly enclosing the fillings, until you reach the uncovered top edge. Dampen the edge with a little water to seal the roll.
8. Repeat the process with the remaining nori sheets and ingredients to create 4 rolls.
9. Slice the sushi rolls: Using a sharp knife, cut each roll into 6-8 bite-sized pieces. Wipe the knife with a damp cloth between slices to ensure clean cuts.
10. Serve: Arrange the sliced sushi on a plate and serve with gluten-free soy sauce, pickled ginger, and wasabi if desired.
