Ingredients

• 2 cups Sushi rice
• 2.5 cups Water
• 0.25 cup Rice vinegar
• 2 tablespoons Sugar
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 lb Fresh tuna (sushi-grade), diced
• 2 tablespoons Sriracha sauce
• 2 tablespoons Mayonnaise
• 1 teaspoon Soy sauce
• 4 sheets Nori sheets
• 0.5 teaspoon Wasabi paste
• 2 tablespoons Pickled ginger
• 2 tablespoons Sesame seeds

Directions

Step 1

Rinse the sushi rice under cold water until the water runs clear to remove excess starch.

Step 2

In a medium saucepan, combine the rinsed rice and 2.5 cups of water. Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat to low, cover, and cook for 20 minutes until water is absorbed and rice is tender.

Step 3

Remove from heat and let it cool for 10 minutes. Meanwhile, mix rice vinegar, sugar, and salt in a small bowl until dissolved.

Step 4

Gently fold the vinegar mixture into the cooked rice with a wooden spoon or spatula, then set aside to cool completely.

Step 5

In a bowl, mix diced tuna, Sriracha sauce, mayonnaise, and soy sauce until well combined to create the spicy tuna mixture.

Step 6

Place a bamboo sushi mat on a clean surface and put a sheet of plastic wrap on top. Place one nori sheet, shiny side down, on the plastic wrap.

Step 7

With dampened fingers, spread approximately 1/2 cup of the seasoned sushi rice over the nori, leaving a 1-inch border at the top edge.

Step 8

Sprinkle a thin layer of sesame seeds over the rice for added texture and flavor.

Step 9

Spread 2 tablespoons of the spicy tuna mixture along the center of the rice.

Step 10

Using the bamboo mat, carefully roll the sushi away from you, pressing gently but firmly to keep the roll tight. Seal the edge with the border of rice-exposed nori.

Step 11

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

Step 12

With a sharp knife, slice each roll into 6-8 pieces and serve with wasabi, pickled ginger, and soy sauce on the side.
