Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 200 grams Sushi-grade tuna
- 2 tablespoons Mayonnaise
- 1 tablespoon Sriracha
- 1 teaspoon Soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon Green onions (finely chopped)
- 2 cups Cooked sushi rice
- 2 tablespoons Rice vinegar
- 1 teaspoon Granulated sugar
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 4 pieces Nori sheets
- 1 tablespoon Sesame seeds (optional)
- to taste Soy sauce (for dipping)
- to taste Pickled ginger (optional)
- to taste Wasabi (optional)
Instructions
Prepare the sushi rice by mixing rice vinegar, sugar, and salt in a small bowl until dissolved. Gently fold the mixture into the warm cooked sushi rice. Cover the rice with a damp towel and let it cool to room temperature.
In a medium bowl, finely dice the sushi-grade tuna. Add mayonnaise, sriracha, soy sauce, and green onions. Mix gently until well combined. Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary.
Lay a bamboo sushi mat on a clean surface and place a sheet of plastic wrap over it. Lay one nori sheet shiny-side down on the mat.
Spread approximately 1/2 cup of prepared sushi rice evenly over the nori sheet using wet hands to prevent sticking, leaving about 1 inch of nori uncovered at the top edge.
Sprinkle sesame seeds (if using) evenly over the rice for added texture and flavor.
Flip the nori sheet over so the rice faces down. Place a line of the spicy tuna mixture horizontally across the center of the nori sheet.
Using the bamboo mat, carefully roll the sushi from the bottom edge, pressing gently to form a firm and even roll. Seal the edge with a little water if needed.
Repeat the process with the remaining ingredients to make additional rolls.
With a sharp knife dipped in water, slice each roll into 6-8 even pieces, wiping the knife clean between cuts.
Serve the spicy tuna rolls immediately with soy sauce, pickled ginger, and wasabi on the side.
