Spicy Tuna Sushi Rolls
Servings: 2
Prep Time: 30 mins
Cook Time: 20 mins
Total Time: 50 mins
Ingredients:
- 2 cups Sushi Rice
- 2 cups Water
- 3 tablespoons Rice Vinegar
- 2 teaspoons Granulated Sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon Salt
- 200 grams Tuna (sashimi grade)
- 2 tablespoons Spicy Mayo
- 4 sheets Nori (seaweed sheets)
- 1 tablespoon Sesame seeds
- for dip Soy Sauce
- as per taste Wasabi
Instructions:
- First, rinse the sushi rice under cold water until the water comes out clear. This removes excess starch and helps the rice stick together better.
- In a pot, bring sushi rice and water to a boil. Once boiling, cover and reduce the heat to low. Simmer for about 20 minutes until the water is fully absorbed.
- While the rice is cooking, make the sushi vinegar by mixing rice vinegar, sugar, and salt in a small saucepan. Heat over medium heat until the sugar and salt are dissolved. Set aside to cool.
- Once the rice has finished cooking, transfer it to a large bowl or dish and spread it out to cool. While it is still hot, pour over the sushi vinegar evenly. Use a rice paddle or spatula to fold the vinegar into the rice, making sure to avoid mashing the rice.
- Prepare the nori by cutting it into halves, then place it on your sushi mat (shiny side down). Wet your hands and take about a handful of sushi rice and evenly spread it over the nori. Sprinkle some sesame seeds on top.
- Flip the nori over (so the rice side is on the bottom) and place your slices of spicy mayo-covered tuna on top. Roll it tightly using your sushi mat.
- Once the roll is complete, take a sharp, wet knife and slice the roll into bite-size pieces. You should have about 6-8 pieces per roll.
- Repeat with the remaining rice, nori, and tuna.
- Serve sushi with soy sauce and wasabi on the side.
