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:

  1. 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.
  2. 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.
  3. 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.
  4. 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.
  5. 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.
  6. 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.
  7. 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.
  8. Repeat with the remaining rice, nori, and tuna.
  9. Serve sushi with soy sauce and wasabi on the side.
