Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups sushi rice
- 1/4 cup rice vinegar
- 1 tablespoon sugar
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 4 nori sheets
- 8 ounces sashimi-grade tuna or salmon
- 1 ripe avocado, sliced
- 1 cucumber, thinly sliced
- 1/4 cup mayonnaise
- 1 tablespoon sriracha
- 2 tablespoons eel sauce
Instructions
- Prep Your Rice: Rinse sushi rice under cold water until clear. Cook according to package instructions (about 20 minutes) until tender and sticky.
- Season Your Rice: In a bowl, gently fold together cooked rice with rice vinegar, sugar, and salt while still warm. Let cool slightly.
- Prepare Fillings: Slice fresh fish into strips and cut cucumber and avocado into thin matchsticks.
- Assemble the Roll: Place a nori sheet shiny side down on a bamboo mat. Spread about 1 cup of seasoned rice evenly over the nori, leaving space at the top edge. Layer fish, avocado, and cucumber along the bottom edge.
- Roll It Up: With wet fingers, lift the bamboo mat's edge closest to you and roll tightly away from you. Seal the edge with a bit of water.
- Slice & Serve: Use a sharp knife dipped in water to slice into bite-sized pieces. Drizzle with spicy mayo and eel sauce before serving.
