Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 200 grams Fresh tuna (sushi-grade)
- 1 cup Cooked white sushi rice
- 1 medium Cucumber
- 1 large Avocado
- 1 medium Carrot
- 2 pieces Nori sheets
- 2 tablespoons Soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon Rice vinegar
- 1 teaspoon Toasted sesame oil
- 1 teaspoon Sesame seeds
- 2 tablespoons Pickled ginger
- 1 teaspoon Wasabi paste
- 2 stalks Scallions
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
Instructions
Slice the fresh tuna into thin strips or small cubes. Keep it chilled until ready to assemble the salad.
Peel the cucumber, then cut it into thin matchsticks or small cubes for easy bites.
Slice the avocado in half, remove the pit, and dice into bite-sized pieces.
Peel the carrot and shred it using a grater or julienne into thin strips.
Toast the nori sheets over an open flame for a few seconds, then crumble them into small pieces or cut into thin strips with scissors.
In a small bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, rice vinegar, toasted sesame oil, and a pinch of salt to make the dressing.
In a large serving bowl, arrange the cooked sushi rice as the base.
Layer the cucumber, avocado, carrot, and tuna on top of the rice in separate sections or mixed together, depending on preference.
Sprinkle the crumbled nori sheets and sesame seeds evenly over the salad.
Garnish with finely chopped scallions, pickled ginger, and a small dollop of wasabi paste on the side for additional flavor.
Drizzle the dressing over the salad just before serving, or serve it on the side for individual preference.
