Ingredients

• 1 cup Sushi rice
• 1.25 cups Water
• 2 tablespoons Seasoned rice vinegar
• 4 sheets Nori seaweed sheets
• 0.5 Cucumber
• 1 Avocado
• 1 can (about 5 oz) Low-fat canned tuna (in water, drained)
• 1 tablespoon Light mayonnaise
• 1 tablespoon Low-sodium soy sauce
• 0.5 teaspoon Wasabi paste (optional)
• 2 tablespoons Pickled ginger (for serving)

Directions

Step 1

Rinse the sushi rice under cold water in a fine mesh sieve until the water runs clear. Combine the rice and water in a medium pot and bring to a boil over medium heat. Once boiling, reduce the heat to low, cover, and simmer for 10 minutes until the water is absorbed.

Step 2

Remove the rice from the heat and let it sit, covered, for 10 minutes. Fluff the rice with a fork and gently mix in the seasoned rice vinegar. Allow the rice to cool to room temperature.

Step 3

While the rice cools, prepare the fillings: Peel and deseed the cucumber, then slice it into thin matchsticks. Halve and pit the avocado, then slice it into thin strips. In a small bowl, combine the drained tuna with light mayonnaise and mix until well combined.

Step 4

Lay a sheet of nori on a bamboo sushi mat or a clean kitchen towel, shiny side down. Wet your hands with water to prevent sticking, and spread a thin, even layer of sushi rice over the nori, leaving a 1-inch strip at the top uncovered.

Step 5

Place a few strips of cucumber, avocado slices, and about 2 tablespoons of the tuna mixture horizontally across the rice near the bottom edge of the nori.

Step 6

Using the bamboo mat or towel, gently lift the edge of the nori closest to you and roll it up tightly over the fillings, pressing firmly to seal the roll. Wet the uncovered edge of the nori with a little water to help it stick and seal the roll completely.

Step 7

Repeat with the remaining ingredients to make 4 rolls.

Step 8

Using a sharp knife, cut each roll into 6-8 pieces, wiping the knife clean with a damp cloth between slices to ensure clean cuts.

Step 9

Serve the sushi rolls with low-sodium soy sauce, a small dab of wasabi paste (optional for spice), and pickled ginger on the side. Enjoy!
