Ingredients

• 200 grams Sushi-grade tuna
• 1 large Avocado
• 300 grams Cooked sushi rice
• 2 tablespoons Rice vinegar
• 4 sheets Nori (seaweed sheets)
• 2 tablespoons Soy sauce
• 1 teaspoon Wasabi (optional)
• 4 slices Pickled ginger
• 1 tablespoon Sesame seeds

Directions

Step 1

Prepare the sushi rice by seasoning 300 grams of cooked rice with 2 tablespoons of rice vinegar, mixing gently to avoid smashing the grains. Allow it to cool to room temperature.

Step 2

Slice the sushi-grade tuna into long, thin strips, approximately 1 cm in width. Ensure each piece is even for a consistent roll.

Step 3

Cut the avocado in half, remove the pit, peel, and slice it into thin strips.

Step 4

Lay one sheet of nori on a bamboo sushi mat, shiny side down. Wet your fingers with water to prevent sticking.

Step 5

Spread a thin, even layer of sushi rice over the nori, leaving about 2 cm of space at the top edge to seal the roll later.

Step 6

Sprinkle a small amount of sesame seeds over the rice for added texture and flavor.

Step 7

Arrange tuna slices and avocado strips horizontally across the center of the rice layer.

Step 8

Using the bamboo mat, carefully roll the nori over the filling, pressing gently to form a tight roll. Seal the edge with a small amount of water if needed.

Step 9

Repeat the process for the remaining nori sheets and filling ingredients.

Step 10

Using a sharp knife, slice each roll into 6-8 equal pieces. Wipe the knife with a damp towel between cuts for clean slices.

Step 11

Serve the sushi rolls with soy sauce, wasabi (optional), and pickled ginger on the side.
