Ingredients

• 200 grams sashimi-grade tuna
• 1 whole ripe avocado
• 1 medium cucumber
• 4 sheets nori sheets
• 2 tablespoons soy sauce
• 1 teaspoon wasabi paste
• 2 tablespoons pickled ginger
• 2 teaspoons rice vinegar
• 1 teaspoon sugar substitute (e.g., erythritol)
• 0.5 teaspoon salt

Directions

Step 1

Start by preparing the sushi rice substitute by slicing the cucumber into thin matchsticks. Sprinkle with a pinch of salt and let sit for a few minutes. This will draw out excess moisture.

Step 2

Meanwhile, peel and pit the avocado. Slice it into thin strips and set aside.

Step 3

Cut the tuna into long strips about 1/2 inch thick.

Step 4

In a small bowl, mix the rice vinegar, sugar substitute, and a pinch of salt. Whisk together until the sugar substitute is dissolved.

Step 5

Pat dry the cucumber strips with a paper towel to remove excess moisture.

Step 6

Lay out a sheet of nori on a bamboo sushi rolling mat, shiny side down.

Step 7

Evenly distribute a quarter of the cucumber strips over the nori, pressing gently to ensure they adhere.

Step 8

Arrange tuna and avocado strips over the cucumber, about 1 inch from the bottom edge of the nori.

Step 9

Using the rolling mat, roll the nori tightly over the filling, applying gentle pressure to create a compact roll, until you reach the other edge of the nori.

Step 10

Dampen the edge of the nori with a little water to seal the roll.

Step 11

Repeat the process with the remaining nori sheets and filling.

Step 12

With a sharp knife, cut each roll into 6-8 pieces, wiping the knife with a damp cloth between cuts to keep the edges clean.

Step 13

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