Spicy Tuna Sushi Roll

Ingredients:

  • 1 cup sushi rice
  • 1 1/4 cups water
  • 1/4 cup rice vinegar
  • 2 tablespoons sugar
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 8 sheets nori (seaweed)
  • 1/2 lb sushi-grade tuna, diced
  • 2 tablespoons mayonnaise (preferably Kewpie)
  • 1 tablespoon Sriracha sauce (or more, if you dare!)
  • 1 avocado, sliced
  • Soy sauce, for serving

Instructions:

  1. Start by rinsing the sushi rice in cold water until the water runs clear. This will help you achieve that perfect sticky texture.
  2. Combine the washed rice and water in a rice cooker or pot. Cook according to the manufacturer’s instructions.
  3. While the rice is cooking, mix the rice vinegar, sugar, and salt in a small saucepan over low heat until the sugar dissolves. This will be your sushi seasoning.
  4. Once the rice is cooked, transfer it to a large bowl, and gently fold in the vinegar mixture. Allow it to cool slightly.
  5. Grab your diced tuna and mix it with the mayonnaise and Sriracha sauce in a bowl. Adjust the heat to your liking—you’re the chef here!
  6. Lay a sheet of nori on a bamboo sushi mat, shiny side down. Wet your hands to prevent sticking, then grab a handful of sushi rice and spread it evenly over the nori, leaving a small border at the top.
  7. Place a line of the spicy tuna mixture and a few slices of avocado along the bottom of the rice-covered nori.
  8. Gently lift the bamboo mat and start rolling towards the top of the nori. Apply light pressure to form a tight roll.
  9. Once rolled, use a sharp knife to slice the sushi into bite-sized pieces. Serve with soy sauce and enjoy!

And there you have it! A delightful spicy tuna sushi roll that’s sure to impress. Whether you’re making this for yourself or someone special, just remember to have fun and maybe throw in a sushi pun or two. Now go roll with it!
