Ingredients

• 1 cup Sushi rice
• 1.25 cups Water
• 2 tablespoons Rice vinegar
• 1 tablespoon Sugar
• 0.5 teaspoons Salt
• 4 ounces Fresh sushi-grade tuna
• 1 medium Avocado
• 4 full sheets Nori sheets
• 0.5 medium Cucumber
• 1 teaspoon Lemon juice
• 1 teaspoon Wasabi (optional)
• 2 tablespoons Pickled ginger (optional, for serving)

Directions

Step 1

Rinse the sushi rice in cold water until the water runs clear. This removes excess starch and ensures fluffy rice.

Step 2

Combine rinsed sushi rice and water in a medium saucepan. Cover the pot, bring to a boil, then lower the heat to a simmer. Cook for about 18-20 minutes, or until all the water is absorbed.

Step 3

While the rice cooks, mix the rice vinegar, sugar, and salt in a small bowl until dissolved.

Step 4

Once the rice is cooked, transfer it to a large glass or wooden bowl. Drizzle the vinegar mixture over the rice and gently fold it in using a wooden spatula. Set aside to cool to room temperature.

Step 5

Slice the tuna into thin strips, about 1/4 inch thick. Peel and slice the avocado lengthwise into thin slices, and toss with lemon juice to prevent browning. Peel the cucumber, slice lengthwise, and cut into thin matchstick-sized pieces.

Step 6

Place one sheet of nori shiny side down on a bamboo sushi mat or a clean countertop. Spread an even layer of cooled sushi rice on the nori, leaving about 1 inch of space along the top edge.

Step 7

Place a small amount of tuna, avocado slices, and cucumber sticks horizontally across the rice, about 1 inch from the bottom edge. Add a small dab of wasabi if desired.

Step 8

Using the bamboo mat or your fingers, start rolling the sushi tightly from the bottom edge, pressing gently as you go. Seal the roll by moistening the top edge of the nori with a little water.

Step 9

Repeat the process with the remaining ingredients to make 4 rolls.

Step 10

Using a sharp knife, slice each roll into 6-8 pieces. Wipe the knife blade with a damp cloth between cuts for clean edges.

Step 11

Serve with pickled ginger on the side, along with additional lemon juice or wasabi if desired. Enjoy your soy-free tuna avocado sushi fresh and chilled!
