Description

Even if you're new to sushi making, this recipe for fresh and spicy tuna rolls is easy to make at home.

Ingredients

4 sheets nori (dry seaweed)
1/2 pound sashimi-grade tuna, finely chopped
4 tablespoons mayonnaise
2 green onions, chopped
1 tablespoon hot chile sauce
2 1/2 cups prepared sushi rice
1 tablespoon sesame seeds

Directions

1 Cut off the bottom quarter of each nori sheet; reserve for another use.
2 Combine chopped tuna, mayonnaise, green onions, and hot sauce in a bowl.
3 Center 1 sheet of nori on a bamboo sushi mat. Wet your hands. Spread a thin layer of rice on the nori using your hands; press into a thin layer, leaving a 1/2-inch space at the bottom edge. Sprinkle with sesame seeds. Arrange 1/4 of the tuna mixture in a line across the rice, about 1/3 of the way down from the top of the sheet.
4 Wet the uncovered edge of the nori. Lift the top end of the mat and firmly roll it over the ingredients. Roll it forward to make a complete roll. Repeat with remaining ingredients.
5 Slice the rolls into 3/4-inch pieces using a wet knife. Serve immediately or refrigerate until serving.
