Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 200 grams Sushi-grade tuna
- 1 cup Sushi rice
- 1.25 cups Water
- 2 tablespoons Rice vinegar
- 1 tablespoon Sugar
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 2 tablespoons Mayonnaise
- 1 tablespoon Sriracha sauce
- 1 teaspoon Soy sauce
- 4 sheets Nori sheets
- 1 tablespoon Sesame seeds
- 0.5 teaspoon Wasabi
- 4 tablespoons Pickled ginger
Instructions
Rinse the sushi rice under cold water until the water runs clear to remove excess starch.
Combine the rinsed rice with 1.25 cups of water in a rice cooker. Cook as per the manufacturer's instructions. If using stovetop, bring to a boil over medium heat, then cover and reduce heat to low. Cook for 18-20 minutes, or until water is fully absorbed.
In a small bowl, mix together rice vinegar, sugar, and salt until dissolved.
Once rice is cooked, transfer it to a large bowl. Gently fold in the vinegar mixture with a spatula to season the rice, then allow it to cool to room temperature.
Finely chop the sushi-grade tuna and place it in a medium bowl.
Combine mayonnaise, sriracha sauce, and soy sauce in a separate small bowl. Add this spicy mayo mixture to the chopped tuna and mix until well incorporated. Adjust seasoning to taste.
Place a bamboo sushi mat on a clean surface, then lay a nori sheet shiny side down on the mat. Cover half of the nori with an even layer of sushi rice, leaving a 1-inch border at the top uncovered to seal the roll.
Lightly sprinkle sesame seeds over the rice.
Spread a quarter of the spicy tuna mixture evenly across the center of the rice.
Lift the edge of the mat closest to you and carefully roll the sushi into a tight cylinder, applying gentle but firm pressure. Moisten the exposed nori edge with water to seal the roll.
Repeat the process with the remaining nori sheets and fillings.
Use a sharp, damp knife to slice each roll into 6-8 pieces.
Serve the spicy tuna sushi rolls with wasabi and pickled ginger on the side.
