Spicy Tuna Sushi Hand Roll
Spicy tuna sushi hand roll is a popular type of sushi that is made by filling a sheet of nori seaweed with seasoned sushi rice, spicy tuna filling, and other ingredients.
Ingredients
- 2 sheets of nori seaweed
- 1 cup cooked sushi rice
- 2 tbsp rice vinegar
- 1 tbsp sugar
- ½ tsp salt
- 4 oz. fresh sushi-grade tuna, diced into small cubes
- 1 tbsp mayonnaise
- 1 tsp sriracha or other hot sauce
- ½ ripe avocado, sliced into thin strips
- ¼ medium cucumber, sliced into thin strips
- ¼ medium carrot, sliced into thin strips
- soy sauce and wasabi (for serving)
Instructions
- Cook the rice. Rinse the uncooked sushi rice in a fine-mesh strainer under cold running water until the water runs clear. In a medium saucepan, combine the rinsed rice with 1 1/4 cups water and bring to a boil over high heat. Reduce the heat to low, cover the saucepan with a tight-fitting lid, and simmer for 18-20 minutes or until the rice is tender and the water is absorbed.
- In a small bowl, combine the rice vinegar, sugar, and salt. Mix until the sugar dissolves. Stir the mixture into the cooked sushi rice until well combined. Set aside to cool.
- In another bowl, mix the diced tuna, mayonnaise, and sriracha sauce until well combined. Set aside.
- Lay a sheet of nori seaweed on a clean surface, shiny side down. Use wet hands to spread half of the prepared sushi rice evenly over the nori, leaving a small border around the edges. Place half of the spicy tuna mixture, sliced avocado, cucumber, and carrot on the rice in a line across the center of the nori.
- Roll the nori tightly around the filling, starting at the bottom and rolling up to form a cone shape. Use a small amount of water to seal the edges of the nori, and repeat the process with the second sheet of nori and remaining ingredients. Enjoy with soy sauce and wasabi!
