Ingredients

  • 2 cups Sushi Rice (seasoned with vinegar)
  • 2 sheets Nori (Seaweed sheets)
  • 4 pieces Shrimp Tempura
  • 4 oz Sashimi-grade Tuna (minced)
  • 1 tablespoon Sriracha Sauce
  • 0.5 cup Cucumber (julienned)
  • 0.5 whole Avocado (thinly sliced)
  • 2 tablespoons Spicy Mayo(optional)
  • 1 tablespoon Masago (Capelin roe)(optional)
  • 1 tablespoon Green Onions (chopped)(optional)

Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the spicy tuna topping by mixing the minced tuna with Sriracha and a teaspoon of sesame oil in a small bowl.

  2. 2

    Place a half-sheet of nori on a bamboo rolling mat covered with plastic wrap.

  3. 3

    Spread a thin, even layer of sushi rice over the nori, leaving no gaps, then flip the sheet over so the rice is facing down.

  4. 4

    Place two pieces of shrimp tempura and several cucumber strips horizontally across the center of the nori.

  5. 5

    Carefully roll the bamboo mat away from you, tucking the edge to create a tight cylinder.

  6. 6

    Layer the sliced avocado and the spicy tuna mixture over the top of the roll.

  7. 7

    Place the plastic wrap back over the roll and use the bamboo mat to gently press the toppings into the rice.

  8. 8

    Slice the roll into 8 even pieces using a very sharp, wet knife and garnish with spicy mayo, masago, and green onions.
