Ingredients

To make Spicy Tuna Sushi, you will need the following ingredients:

• 1 cup sushi rice
• 1 1/4 cups water
• 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
• 1 tablespoon sugar
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 4 ounces fresh tuna, cut into small cubes
• 2 tablespoons mayonnaise
• 1 tablespoon sriracha sauce
• Nori sheets
• Bamboo sushi mat

Instructions

Follow these steps to make Spicy Tuna Sushi:

1. Rinse the sushi rice in cold water until the water runs clear. Drain the rice and put it in a pot with 1 1/4 cups of water. Bring the water to a boil, then reduce the heat to low and cover the pot. Cook the rice for about 18 minutes, or until all the water is absorbed.
2. In a small bowl, mix together the rice vinegar, sugar, and salt. Heat the mixture in a microwave for about 30 seconds, or until the sugar and salt are dissolved. Pour the mixture over the cooked rice and stir to combine.
3. In another bowl, mix together the mayonnaise and sriracha sauce. Add the cubed tuna to the bowl and mix until the tuna is coated in the sauce.
4. Place a sheet of nori on top of the bamboo sushi mat. Spoon some of the rice onto the nori and spread it out evenly, leaving about 1 inch of space at the top of the nori.
5. Place some of the spicy tuna mixture on top of the rice, spreading it out evenly. Roll up the sushi tightly using the bamboo mat, pressing down gently as you roll to make sure it stays together.
6. Repeat with the remaining ingredients until you have made all the sushi rolls you want.
7. Using a sharp knife, cut each sushi roll into bite-sized pieces and serve with soy sauce and wasabi.
