Ingredients

• 8 ounces Sushi-grade tuna
• 2 tablespoons Gluten-free soy sauce (tamari)
• 1 tablespoon Sriracha
• 2 tablespoons Mayonnaise
• 1 cup Gluten-free tempura flour mix
• 0.75 cup Ice-cold water
• 2 cups Sushi rice
• 2 tablespoons Rice vinegar
• 1 tablespoon Sugar
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 4 sheets Nori sheets
• 1 whole Avocado
• 1 whole Cucumber
• 3 cups Vegetable oil (for frying)
• 4 slices Pickled ginger (optional)
• 1 teaspoon Wasabi paste (optional)

Directions

Step 1

Cook the sushi rice according to the package instructions. Once cooked, gently mix the rice with rice vinegar, sugar, and salt. Allow it to cool to room temperature.

Step 2

Dice the sushi-grade tuna into small cubes and place it in a mixing bowl. Add gluten-free soy sauce (tamari), sriracha, and mayonnaise. Mix until well-combined. Set aside.

Step 3

Slice the avocado and cucumber into thin strips for filling the rolls.

Step 4

Prepare the tempura batter by whisking the gluten-free tempura flour mix with ice-cold water in a mixing bowl. The batter should be slightly lumpy for optimal crispiness.

Step 5

Lay a sheet of nori, shiny side down, on a bamboo sushi mat. Wet your hands to prevent sticking and spread an even layer of sushi rice onto the nori, leaving about 1 inch at the top edge uncovered.

Step 6

Add the spicy tuna mixture, avocado, and cucumber strips along the center of the rice. Roll the sushi tightly using the bamboo mat, applying gentle but firm pressure.

Step 7

Slice the sushi roll into six to eight pieces using a sharp knife dipped in water to prevent sticking.

Step 8

Dip each assembled sushi roll piece lightly into the tempura batter, ensuring it is fully coated.

Step 9

Heat the vegetable oil in a deep pan or pot to 350°F (175°C). Fry each piece of tempura-coated sushi roll for 1-2 minutes or until golden and crispy. Remove and drain on a paper towel.

Step 10

Serve immediately with gluten-free soy sauce, pickled ginger, and wasabi paste, if desired.
