Ingredients

• 1 cup sushi rice
• 1.25 cups water
• 2 tablespoons rice vinegar
• 1 tablespoon granulated sugar
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 4 pieces nori sheets
• 1 can canned tuna
• 1 large avocado
• 0.5 medium cucumber
• 2 tablespoons soy sauce
• 0.5 teaspoon wasabi
• 2 tablespoons pickled ginger

Directions

Step 1

Rinse the sushi rice in cold water until the water runs clear. Drain well.

Step 2

In a medium saucepan, combine the rinsed rice and 1.25 cups of water. Bring to a boil over high heat.

Step 3

Once boiling, reduce the heat to low, cover the saucepan, and simmer for 18 minutes.

Step 4

Remove the saucepan from the heat and let it stand, covered, for 10 minutes.

Step 5

In a small bowl, mix the rice vinegar, sugar, and salt until the sugar and salt are dissolved.

Step 6

Transfer the cooked rice to a large bowl and gently fold in the vinegar mixture with a spoon. Allow the rice to cool to room temperature.

Step 7

Drain the canned tuna and flake it into a small bowl. Mix in soy sauce and wasabi paste to taste.

Step 8

Halve and pit the avocado, then peel and thinly slice it.

Step 9

Peel the cucumber and cut it into thin matchstick pieces.

Step 10

Lay a bamboo sushi mat on a flat surface, and place a sheet of plastic wrap over the mat.

Step 11

Place a sheet of nori, shiny side down, on the plastic wrap atop the mat.

Step 12

With wet hands, spread a thin, even layer of sushi rice over the nori, leaving a 1-inch strip at the top edge uncovered.

Step 13

Arrange a line of tuna mixture, avocado slices, and cucumber sticks across the rice about 1 inch from the bottom edge of the nori.

Step 14

Using the bamboo mat, start rolling the sushi tightly from the bottom, applying gentle pressure to shape the roll, until the uncovered edge of the nori is sealed.

Step 15

Repeat the process with the remaining ingredients to make additional rolls.

Step 16

With a sharp knife dipped in water, slice the rolls into bite-sized pieces.

Step 17

Serve the sushi rolls with pickled ginger and extra soy sauce for dipping.
