Spicy Tuna Roll

A classic sushi roll filled with spicy tuna and cucumber, wrapped in seaweed and rice, and served with soy sauce and wasabi.

Instructions

1. 1

   Season the sushi rice with the rice vinegar, fanning and stirring until room temperature.

2. 2

   On the rolling mat place one sheet of nori with the rough side facing upwards.

3. 3

   In a small bowl, combine tuna filling ingredients. Set aside.

4. 4

   Wet your hands and grab a handful of rice and place it on the nori. Spread the rice evenly throughout the nori without smushing the rice down.

5. 5

   Arrange, in a horizontal row 1 inch (2.5 cm) from the bottom, a large spoonful of the tuna filling.

6. 6

   Grabbing both nori and the mat, roll the mat over the filling so the extra space at the bottom touches the other side, squeezing down to make a nice tight roll. Squeeze down along the way to keep the roll from holding its shape.

7. 7

   Transfer the roll onto a cutting board. Rub a knife on a damp paper towel before slicing the roll into six equal portions.

8. 8

   Enjoy!
