Spicy Tuna Sushi Rice Roll
Ingredients
- 2 Persian cucumbers, peeled and julienned
- 1/2 tsp. rice wine vinegar
- 1/4 tsp. salt
- 2 (5-oz.) cans tuna packed in water, drained
- 1/4 cup mayonnaise
- 3 Tbsp. sriracha
- 1 tsp. togarashi (optional)
- 6 nori sheets
- 4 cups prepared sushi rice, divided
- 1 avocado, sliced 1/3" thick
- Black and white sesame seeds and thinly sliced scallions, for garnish
Instructions
- In a medium bowl, toss cucumbers, vinegar, and salt. In another medium bowl, mix tuna, mayonnaise, Sriracha, and togarashi (if using).
- On a bamboo mat, lay 1 nori sheet. Using dampened hands, spread 2/3 c. rice evenly across 80% of the nori, leaving an uncovered border at end farthest from you. Working at end closest to you, arrange 3 tbsp. tuna mixture in a straight line horizontally on top of rice. Top tuna mixture with strips of cucumber and avocado.
- Lift bamboo mat from end closest to you and use it to guide edge of rice into a tight spiral. Squeeze firmly along mat to compact roll, then continue rolling in a spiral log to seal edge. Repeat with remaining ingredients.
- Let roll sit 10 minutes before slicing. Garnish with sesame seeds and scallions.
