Ingredients

• 4 ounces Sushi-grade tuna
• 1 medium Avocado
• 1 small Cucumber
• 4 sheets Nori (seaweed sheets)
• 2 cups Sushi rice
• 2 tablespoons Rice vinegar
• 1 teaspoon Sugar
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 2.5 cups Water
• 2 tablespoons Pickled ginger
• 1 teaspoon Wasabi paste

Directions

Step 1

Rinse the sushi rice under cold water until the water runs clear, then drain.

Step 2

In a medium saucepan, combine the rinsed sushi rice and 2.5 cups of water. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat, then reduce the heat to low, cover, and simmer for 18-20 minutes or until the water is fully absorbed.

Step 3

Once cooked, transfer the rice to a large bowl and let it cool slightly. Mix the rice vinegar, sugar, and salt in a small bowl and drizzle it over the rice. Gently fold to incorporate, being careful not to crush the rice. Allow the rice to cool to room temperature.

Step 4

Slice the cucumber into thin matchstick-sized strips. Peel, pit, and slice the avocado into thin slices. Cut the sushi-grade tuna into thin, even strips about 3-4 inches long.

Step 5

Place a bamboo sushi mat on a clean, flat surface. Lay one sheet of nori, shiny side down, on the bamboo mat.

Step 6

Wet your hands with water to prevent sticking, then spread a thin, even layer of sushi rice across the nori, leaving a 1-inch border at the top edge.

Step 7

Arrange a row of tuna strips, avocado slices, and cucumber sticks across the center of the rice.

Step 8

Using the bamboo mat, start rolling the nori from the edge closest to you, tightly wrapping the filling in the rice and nori. Roll until you reach the border, using a little water on your fingertips to seal the edge.

Step 9

Repeat the process for the remaining nori sheets and ingredients.

Step 10

Once all the rolls are made, use a sharp knife dipped in water to slice each roll into 6-8 even pieces.

Step 11

Serve the sushi rolls with pickled ginger and a small dollop of wasabi paste, as desired.
