Ingredients

• 200 grams Sushi-grade tuna
• 2 tablespoons Sriracha sauce
• 3 tablespoons Mayonnaise
• 1 teaspoon Soy sauce
• 1 teaspoon Toasted sesame oil
• 2 cups Cooked sushi rice
• 1 tablespoon Rice vinegar
• 6 pieces Nori sheets
• 0.5 Cucumber
• 2 stalks Scallions
• 1 Avocado
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 1 teaspoon Sugar

Directions

Step 1

Begin by preparing the sushi rice. Rinse 2 cups of sushi rice under cold water until the water runs clear. Cook according to package instructions. Once cooked, transfer to a large bowl.

Step 2

In a small bowl, mix 1 tablespoon of rice vinegar, 0.5 teaspoon of salt, and 1 teaspoon of sugar until dissolved. Pour this mixture over the warm cooked rice and gently fold it in. Let the rice cool to room temperature.

Step 3

While the rice cools, prepare the tuna filling. Dice 200 grams of sushi-grade tuna into small cubes and place them in a bowl.

Step 4

For the spicy sauce, mix 2 tablespoons of sriracha sauce, 3 tablespoons of mayonnaise, 1 teaspoon of soy sauce, and 1 teaspoon of toasted sesame oil in a small bowl. Adjust the sriracha based on your spiciness preference.

Step 5

Fold the spicy sauce into the diced tuna until the tuna is evenly coated.

Step 6

Slice half a cucumber into thin strips and thinly slice 2 scallions. Halve and pit 1 avocado, then slice it thinly.

Step 7

To assemble the hand rolls, take one sheet of nori and cut it in half horizontally. Place it shiny side down on the palm of your hand.

Step 8

Place a small amount of sushi rice on the left side of the nori and spread it lightly with your fingers, leaving the right third of the nori uncovered.

Step 9

Layer a few cucumber strips, a slice of avocado, and a sprinkle of scallions over the rice.

Step 10

Top with a couple of spoonfuls of the spicy tuna mixture.

Step 11

To wrap the hand roll, bring the bottom left corner of the nori up over the filling to form a cone, and continue rolling it into a cone shape. Use a grain of rice as glue to stick the edge of the nori and seal the hand roll.

Step 12

Serve immediately and enjoy!
