I really like sushi, so much so I make non raw versions at home, don't get me wrong I love real raw tuna, I just don't just myself making it. Here is a spicy tuna roll with a crunch, normally the carrot is an avocado, however, I am a big fan of carrots and didn't want to wait for an avocado to ripen for this recipe.
- 2 cans chunk light tuna in water
- 1 tablespoon olive oil mayo
- 2 tablespoons Sriracha
- 1 small lime, juiced
- 1 sliced carrot
- 3 sheets seaweed
- 1 cup medium grain rice
- 2 cups water
- 1 tablespoon sugar
- 2 tablespoons vinegar
- Drain tuna, I use a metal sieve to let gravity do its thing.
- In a medium bowl add tuna, mayo, Sriracha, and lime juice, stir together.
- Wash, peel, and cut carrot. Cut into thin lengths.
- Cook rice in 2 cups of water according to package directions; usually boil water, add rice, reduce heat, cover.
- Add sugar and vinegar to rice. Stir and fan to cool. I used apple cider vinegar without issue, rice wine vinegar is also a good choice.
- When rice is cool, lay one sheet of seaweed on a bamboo mat, glossy side down. Spoon roughly a cup of rice on top, spreading evenly across, there should be a half inch area at top of sheet lengthwise without and rice.
- Spread tuna in one row length wise across the bottom, adding carrot to inner side of tuna.
- Roll up sushi, starting at bottom, using mat to keep even roll. Set aside, seam side down
- Repeat process for other two roll.
- Using plastic wrap, wrap rolls up and place in fridge. This will chill them and help hold shape.
- 30 minutes to an hour later, remove plastic wrap. Using a sharp knife cut roll into 6-8 pieces.
- Serve with soy sauce, pickled ginger, more Sriracha, and wasabi paste.
- Enjoy!
