Ingredients

• 6 ounces Fresh sushi-grade tuna
• 1 large Avocado
• 1 small Cucumber
• 1 medium Carrot
• 4 pieces Nori sheets
• 2 tablespoons Coconut aminos
• 1 teaspoon Fresh ginger
• 1 teaspoon Sesame oil
• 0.25 teaspoons Sea salt
• 1 teaspoon Sesame seeds (optional, for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

1. Prepare the vegetables: Peel and julienne the carrot into thin strips. Slice the cucumber into thin matchstick-sized strips. Set them aside.

Step 2

2. Slice the tuna: Using a sharp knife, cut the sushi-grade tuna into thin, even strips. Ensure the slices are of uniform size for easy rolling.

Step 3

3. Prepare the avocado: Cut the avocado in half, remove the pit, and scoop out the flesh. Slice the avocado into thin strips and set aside.

Step 4

4. Prepare the seasoning: In a small bowl, combine coconut aminos, grated fresh ginger, sesame oil, and sea salt. This will serve as a dipping sauce.

Step 5

5. Assemble the sushi roll: Place one nori sheet, shiny side down, on a clean, flat surface. Arrange a few strips of tuna, avocado, cucumber, and carrot across the center of the nori sheet, leaving about 1 inch at the top and bottom edges.

Step 6

6. Roll the sushi: Starting from the edge closest to you, gently roll the nori over the filling, pressing firmly but gently as you go. Use a little water to seal the edge of the nori sheet when you reach the end.

Step 7

7. Slice the roll: Using a very sharp knife, cut the roll into even slices. Wipe the knife with a damp cloth between cuts for clean edges.

Step 8

8. Repeat the process: Assemble and roll the remaining nori sheets with the ingredients until all are used up.

Step 9

9. Garnish and serve: Sprinkle sesame seeds (if using) on top of the rolls. Serve with the prepared dipping sauce on the side.
