Ingredients:

– 8 oz sushi-grade tuna steak

– 1/4 cup mayonnaise

– 2 tablespoons sriracha sauce (adjust to your desired spice level)

– 1 teaspoon sesame oil

– 1 avocado, sliced thinly

– 4 cups prepared sushi rice

– 4 sheets nori seaweed

– Soy sauce, for dipping (optional)

Instructions:

1. Prepare the sushi rice: Cook sushi rice according to package instructions and season with rice vinegar, sugar, and salt. Allow it to cool to room temperature before using.

2. Prepare the spicy tuna filling: Cut the tuna steak into small cubes or mince it finely with a sharp knife. In a mixing bowl, combine tuna, mayonnaise, sriracha sauce, and sesame oil. Stir well until combined.

3. Assemble the rolls:

– Lay down a sheet of nori seaweed onto a bamboo sushi mat or flat surface.

– Wet your hands with water to prevent sticking, then evenly spread a layer of sushi rice onto the nori sheet, leaving a small gap at the top edge for sealing.

– Along the bottom third of the rice-covered nori sheet, place a thin line of spicy tuna mixture.

– Arrange avocado slices on top of the spicy tuna mixture.

4. Rolling the sushi:

– Carefully lift the bottom edge of the bamboo mat (or nori sheet) closest to you, and start rolling it over the filling until the edge meets the rice.

– Apply gentle pressure to ensure a firm roll. Continue rolling until the entire roll is tightly wrapped and sealed.

– Gently press the bamboo mat around the roll for a final shape.

5. Cutting and serving:

– Use a sharp knife to slice each roll into equal-sized pieces (usually 6-8 pieces per roll).

– Clean your knife between cuts by wiping it with a damp cloth.

– Serve your spicy tuna rolls with soy sauce for dipping, if desired.
