Ingredients

• 200 grams Sushi-grade tuna
• 1 medium Avocado
• 300 grams Cooked sushi rice
• 2 tablespoons Rice vinegar
• 4 pieces Nori sheets
• 2 tablespoons Soy sauce (optional for serving)
• 1 tablespoon Toasted sesame seeds
• 1 teaspoon Wasabi (optional for serving)
• 2 slices Pickled ginger (optional for serving)
• 1 piece Bamboo sushi mat (for rolling)
• 1 piece Plastic wrap

Directions

Step 1

Prepare the sushi rice: If it is not already seasoned, gently mix the cooked sushi rice with 2 tablespoons of rice vinegar in a large bowl. Let the rice cool to room temperature.

Step 2

Thinly slice the sushi-grade tuna into strips approximately 1 cm wide and 5 cm long.

Step 3

Cut the avocado in half, remove the pit, and slice the flesh into thin, even strips.

Step 4

Place a bamboo sushi mat on a clean, flat surface and cover it with plastic wrap to prevent sticking.

Step 5

Lay one nori sheet shiny side down on the bamboo mat.

Step 6

Wet your hands with water to prevent the rice from sticking. Grab a handful of sushi rice and evenly spread a thin layer over the nori sheet, leaving a 2 cm strip at the top edge uncovered.

Step 7

Sprinkle a few sesame seeds over the rice if desired.

Step 8

Place a few slices of tuna and avocado horizontally across the center of the rice.

Step 9

Using the bamboo mat, gently roll the sushi away from you, applying firm but gentle pressure to create a tight roll. Avoid squeezing too hard, as this can cause the filling to pop out.

Step 10

Dip your finger in water and run it along the uncovered edge of the nori sheet to seal the roll.

Step 11

Repeat the process with the remaining nori sheets, rice, tuna, and avocado.

Step 12

Using a sharp knife, slice each roll into 6-8 equal pieces. Wipe the blade with a damp cloth between cuts to ensure clean slices.

Step 13

Serve with soy sauce, wasabi, and pickled ginger on the side, if desired.
