Ingredients
 
 

  • 3 cups cooked Japanese rice
  • 6 tablespoons sushi vinegar bottled, or homemade (see notes)
  • 5 ounces sashimi grade tuna chopped
  • 1 tablespoon avocado oil mayonnaise or regular mayonnaise
  • 2 teaspoons tamari soy sauce
  • 2 teaspoons toasted sesame oil
  • ground pepper to taste (optional)
  • 2 ounces cucumber cut into very thin sticks
  • 4 tablespoons fried onion plus more for topping
  • 2 sheets nori seaweed each cut in half

Instructions
 

  • To make sushi rice, pour the sushi vinegar on the rice and mix well.
  • Place the tuna in a bowl and season with the mayonnaise, tamari soy sauce and sesame oil. Sprinkle pepper if desired. Mix well.
  • Place a bamboo mat on a working surface and cover with a piece of cling wrap that is longer than the mat. Fold the overhang of the cling wrap over the edges of the mat.
  • Place a sheet of half size nori with the shiny side down on the cling wrap. Spread ¼ of the sushi rice on the nori, making sure the rice comes to all edges.
  • Flip the nori and rice, so the nori comes on top.
  • Spread ¼ of the tuna in the middle of the nori horizontally. Then top with a few sticks of cucumber and 1 tablespoon of fried onion.
  • Lift up the bottom edge (closer to you) of the bamboo mat all the way to the top side to roll up. Give a squeeze with your hands to make sure everything is packed in tightly. Take the roll out of the bamboo mat and cut into individual pieces. Repeat with the rest of the ingredients.
  • Top with more fried onion and sesame. Serve with tamari soy sauce, wasabi and ginger pickles if desired.

Notes

Sushi vinegar can be made by combining 4 tablespoon rice vinegar, 2 tablespoon sugar, 1 teaspoon salt.
