Ingredients

• 200 grams Sushi-grade tuna
• 1 medium-sized Avocado
• 200 grams Sushi rice
• 2 tablespoons Rice vinegar
• 4 sheets Nori sheets
• 2 tablespoons Soy sauce
• 0.5 medium-sized Cucumber
• 0.25 teaspoons Salt
• 1 teaspoon Sugar
• 1 tablespoon Sesame seeds (optional)

Directions

Step 1

Rinse the sushi rice in cold water until the water runs clear. Cook the rice according to package instructions.

Step 2

While the rice is still warm, transfer it to a large bowl. Mix the rice vinegar, salt, and sugar together in a small bowl, then gently stir this mixture into the rice. Allow the rice to cool to room temperature.

Step 3

Slice the sushi-grade tuna into thin strips approximately 1 cm wide. Peel and pit the avocado, then slice it into thin strips. Peel the cucumber and cut it into thin, matchstick-sized pieces.

Step 4

Lay a sheet of nori, shiny side down, on a sushi mat or a clean surface. Wet your hands with a small amount of water to prevent sticking, then spread a thin, even layer of sushi rice over the nori, leaving a 2 cm border along the top edge.

Step 5

Sprinkle sesame seeds over the rice if using. Place a few strips of tuna, avocado, and cucumber horizontally across the center of the rice.

Step 6

Using the sushi mat or your hands, carefully roll the nori sheet away from you, encasing the filling tightly. Press gently but firmly to seal the roll along the top edge. Repeat with the remaining ingredients to make additional rolls.

Step 7

Using a sharp knife, slice each roll into 6-8 pieces. Wet the knife with water before each cut for a cleaner slice.

Step 8

Serve the rolls immediately with soy sauce for dipping. Enjoy your high-protein tuna avocado rolls!
