Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pieces (6 oz each) sushi-grade tuna steak
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon sesame oil
- 1 tablespoon lime juice
- 1 teaspoon honey
- 2 teaspoons Sriracha
- 1 tablespoon white sesame seeds
- 1 cup (uncooked) short-grain sushi rice
- 2 tablespoons rice vinegar
- 1 teaspoon sugar
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 1 large (sliced) avocado
- 0.5 large (julienned) cucumber
- 1 medium (julienned) carrot
- 1 sheet (cut into strips) nori sheets (seaweed)
- 2 tablespoons mayonnaise
- 2 stalks (thinly sliced) green onions
- 2 tablespoons (optional for garnish) pickled ginger
Instructions
Rinse the sushi rice thoroughly in cold water until the water runs clear. Cook it according to the package instructions.
While the rice is cooking, prepare the rice seasoning by combining rice vinegar, sugar, and salt in a small saucepan. Warm it over low heat until the sugar and salt dissolve, then set it aside to cool.
Once the rice is cooked, transfer it into a large bowl and gently mix in the vinegar seasoning. Allow the rice to cool to room temperature.
Pat the tuna steak dry with paper towels and place it in a shallow dish. In a small bowl, whisk together soy sauce, sesame oil, lime juice, honey, and Sriracha. Pour the marinade over the tuna, ensuring it is evenly coated. Let it marinate for 10 minutes.
Heat a grill pan or outdoor grill over medium-high heat. Grill the tuna for about 2-3 minutes on each side, depending on your preferred doneness. Remove from heat and let it rest for a few minutes before slicing into thin pieces.
In a small bowl, combine the mayonnaise and an additional teaspoon of Sriracha (or more to taste) to create a spicy mayo sauce.
To assemble, divide the seasoned rice into bowls. Top with sliced grilled tuna, avocado, cucumber, carrot, and nori strips.
Drizzle the spicy mayo over the top and sprinkle with sesame seeds and green onions. Add pickled ginger on the side for garnish, if desired.
Serve immediately and enjoy your Spicy Grilled Tuna Un Roll!
