Ingredients

• 1 pound fresh tuna steak
• 2 tablespoons sriracha sauce
• 1 tablespoon soy sauce
• 1 teaspoon sesame oil
• 0.25 cup mayonnaise
• 2 green onions
• 1 tablespoon sesame seeds
• 1 lime
• 0.25 teaspoon salt
• 4 nori sheets
• 1 avocado
• 2 cups cooked sushi rice

Directions

Step 1

Start by preparing the tuna. Place the fresh tuna steak on a cutting board and, using a sharp knife, cut it into small, uniform cubes (about 1/4 inch each).

Step 2

In a medium-sized mixing bowl, combine sriracha sauce, soy sauce, sesame oil, and mayonnaise. Whisk until all the ingredients are well blended and smooth.

Step 3

Add the cubed tuna to the bowl with the sauce. Stir gently to ensure each piece of tuna is coated evenly with the spicy mixture. Be careful not to break the tuna.

Step 4

Finely chop the green onions and add them to the tuna mixture. Stir again to combine.

Step 5

Sprinkle sesame seeds into the mixture, reserving a few for garnish if desired, and stir to incorporate.

Step 6

Cut the lime in half and squeeze the juice of one half into the tuna mixture. Add salt and mix again. Adjust the seasoning according to taste.

Step 7

Peel and slice the avocado into thin strips or cubes.

Step 8

To assemble, lay a nori sheet on a flat surface or bamboo mat if making sushi rolls.

Step 9

Spread about 1/2 cup of cooked sushi rice evenly over the nori sheet, leaving about one inch at the top edge.

Step 10

Place a generous amount of the spicy tuna mixture onto the rice, followed by a few slices of avocado.

Step 11

If making a roll, carefully roll the nori sheet tightly using the bamboo mat, then slice into bite-sized pieces.

Step 12

If serving in bowls, divide the remaining rice among serving bowls, top with spicy tuna and avocado slices, and garnish with extra sesame seeds and green onions.

Step 13

Serve immediately with additional soy sauce or wasabi, if desired.
