Ingredients

• 200 grams Sushi-grade tuna
• 1 cup Sushi rice
• 1.25 cups Water
• 2 tablespoons Rice vinegar
• 1 tablespoon Sugar
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 2 tablespoons Mayonnaise
• 1 tablespoon Sriracha sauce
• 1 teaspoon Soy sauce
• 4 sheets Nori sheets
• 1 tablespoon Sesame seeds
• 0.5 teaspoon Wasabi
• 4 tablespoons Pickled ginger

Directions

Step 1

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

Step 2

Combine the rinsed rice with 1.25 cups of water in a rice cooker. Cook as per the manufacturer's instructions. If using stovetop, bring to a boil over medium heat, then cover and reduce heat to low. Cook for 18-20 minutes, or until water is fully absorbed.

Step 3

In a small bowl, mix together rice vinegar, sugar, and salt until dissolved.

Step 4

Once rice is cooked, transfer it to a large bowl. Gently fold in the vinegar mixture with a spatula to season the rice, then allow it to cool to room temperature.

Step 5

Finely chop the sushi-grade tuna and place it in a medium bowl.

Step 6

Combine mayonnaise, sriracha sauce, and soy sauce in a separate small bowl. Add this spicy mayo mixture to the chopped tuna and mix until well incorporated. Adjust seasoning to taste.

Step 7

Place a bamboo sushi mat on a clean surface, then lay a nori sheet shiny side down on the mat. Cover half of the nori with an even layer of sushi rice, leaving a 1-inch border at the top uncovered to seal the roll.

Step 8

Lightly sprinkle sesame seeds over the rice.

Step 9

Spread a quarter of the spicy tuna mixture evenly across the center of the rice.

Step 10

Lift the edge of the mat closest to you and carefully roll the sushi into a tight cylinder, applying gentle but firm pressure. Moisten the exposed nori edge with water to seal the roll.

Step 11

Repeat the process with the remaining nori sheets and fillings.

Step 12

Use a sharp, damp knife to slice each roll into 6-8 pieces.

Step 13

Serve the spicy tuna sushi rolls with wasabi and pickled ginger on the side.
