45 mins
4 PIECES
Ingredients
For the rice:
- 250g Sushi Rice
- 350ml cold water
- 5 tbsp Rice Vinegar
- 2 tsp sugar
- ½ tsp salt
To the filling:
- 120g canned tuna
- 1 tsp Mirin
- 1.5 tbsp Spicy Mayo
- 0.5 tsp sesame oil
- 1 sheet Sushi Nori (cut into pieces)
- Black Sesame Seeds (use white if no black available)
Instructions
- Place the sushi rice into a pot and add 350ml of cold water.
- Cover the pot, bring it to a boil and simmer for 10 minutes.
- Turn off the heat but keep the lid on and leave the rice to rest for 15 minutes. Then, remove the lid and fluff the rice with a fork or rice paddle. Mix together the rice vinegar, sugar, and salt and pour these over the rice while still hot.
- Cover with a damp kitchen towel which will help prevent the rice from drying out. Allow to cool completely.
- While your rice is cooling, make your tuna filling by adding the tuna (drained), mirin, spicy mayo, and sesame oil into a bowl and mixing together until fully combined.
- Once the rice has cooled, place 1 heaped tablespoon of rice on your palm, or piece of cling film, flattening it gently into a round shape. Add a heaped spoon of your tuna mixture in the middle.
- Cover with another tablespoon of rice and form into a ball with your hand or seal the cling film, if using, and twist into a ball. Flatten it slightly with your hands until it forms a rounded triangle shape, remove the cling film if using. Continue this process with the rest of the rice and fillings until everything is used up.
- Wrap the rolls with a small sheet of nori seaweed, roll in sesame seeds, and enjoy.
