Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 8 oz Fresh sushi-grade tuna
- 1 medium Avocado
- 4 sheets Nori sheets
- 1 small Cucumber
- 1 small Carrot
- 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
- 2 tablespoons Coconut aminos
- 1 teaspoon Wasabi (optional)
Instructions
Start by preparing your vegetables. Peel the cucumber and carrot. Cut both into thin matchstick-sized strips. Set aside.
Halve the avocado, remove the pit, and scoop out the flesh. Slice it into thin strips and drizzle with lemon juice to prevent browning.
Cut the fresh sushi-grade tuna into thin strips, about 1/4 inch thick.
Place one sheet of nori on a bamboo sushi mat, shiny side down.
Arrange a quarter of the sliced tuna, cucumber, carrot, and avocado evenly across the bottom third of the nori sheet, leaving about an inch free at the top.
Optional: If desired, spread a thin line of wasabi across the ingredients before rolling.
Using the bamboo mat, carefully roll the nori sheet over the filling, starting from the bottom. Keep it tight by pressing gently as you roll.
Once rolled, wet the top inch of the nori with a bit of water to seal the roll.
Repeat the process with the remaining ingredients to make three more rolls.
Using a sharp knife, slice each roll into 6 to 8 pieces. Clean the knife with a damp cloth between cuts for cleaner slices.
Serve the sushi rolls with coconut aminos on the side for dipping.
