Ingredients

• 1 cup Sushi rice
• 1.25 cups Water
• 2 tablespoons Rice vinegar
• 1 tablespoon Sugar
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 6 ounces Sashimi-grade tuna
• 1.5 tablespoons Sriracha sauce
• 2 tablespoons Mayonnaise
• 1 teaspoon Soy sauce
• 1 large Avocado
• 4 sheets Nori sheets
• 2 tablespoons Toasted sesame seeds
• 1 unit Bamboo sushi mat
• 1 unit Plastic wrap
• 1 bowl Water

Directions

Step 1

Rinse the sushi rice in a fine mesh strainer under cold water until the water runs clear. This removes excess starch and ensures the rice is fluffy.

Step 2

In a medium-sized saucepan, combine the rinsed rice and 1.25 cups of water. Cover and bring to a boil over medium-high heat. Once boiling, reduce heat to low and simmer for 15 minutes. Turn off heat and let the rice sit, covered, for an additional 10 minutes to complete cooking.

Step 3

In a small saucepan, combine rice vinegar, sugar, and salt over medium heat. Stir until the sugar and salt dissolve completely. Do not bring to a boil. Remove from heat and allow to cool.

Step 4

Transfer the cooked rice to a wooden or plastic bowl. Pour the vinegar mixture over the rice and gently fold it in using a rice paddle or spatula. Allow the rice to cool to room temperature.

Step 5

In a small bowl, mix together the sriracha sauce, mayonnaise, and soy sauce. Dice the sashimi-grade tuna into small cubes and add to the spicy sauce mixture. Stir until the tuna is evenly coated.

Step 6

Cut the avocado in half, remove the pit, and slice the flesh into thin, even slices.

Step 7

Lay a sheet of plastic wrap on top of a bamboo sushi mat. Place one nori sheet, shiny side down, on the plastic-wrapped mat.

Step 8

Wet your hands in the bowl of water to prevent sticking. Spread a quarter of the sushi rice evenly over the nori, leaving a 1-inch border at the top end.

Step 9

Sprinkle 1/2 tablespoon of toasted sesame seeds over the rice.

Step 10

Carefully flip the nori sheet over so that the rice is facing down against the plastic wrap and mat.

Step 11

In the center of the nori sheet, arrange a quarter of the spicy tuna mixture and a few slices of avocado.

Step 12

Starting from the end closest to you, use the bamboo mat to carefully roll the sushi into a tight cylinder, squeezing gently as you go.

Step 13

Remove the rolled sushi from the mat and place it on a cutting board. Use a sharp knife dipped in water to slice the roll into 6 to 8 pieces.

Step 14

Repeat the process with the remaining ingredients to create additional rolls.

Step 15

Serve the spicy tuna avocado sushi with soy sauce, wasabi, and pickled ginger, if desired.
