Ingredients

  • 2 cups sushi rice
  • 2 cups water
  • ¼  cup rice vinegar
  • 3 tablespoons sugar
  • 2 teaspoons salt
  • 8- ounces sushi grade tuna
  • ⅓ cup sriracha mayonnaise
  • ¼ cup chopped chives
  • 4 sheets seaweed paper

Instructions

  • Pour rice into a large bowl and rinse in cold water. Drain and repeat 3-5 times.
  • Transfer the rice to a pot and add the water. Mix, bring to a boil, cover, and then turn the heat down to a simmer for 15 minutes. Switch off the heat then allow the pot to rest for 10 minutes. Don't remove the lid during the cooking or waiting.
  • While the rice is cooking, add the rice vinegar, sugar and salt to a bowl and mix until sugar dissolves.
  • Loosen cooked rice with a rice spatula or wooden spoon. Place rice in a large, wide, shallow, non-reactive dish. Pour vinegar mixture evenly over rice and mix using a spatula in a cutting and folding motion. The vinegar seasoning must be mixed while rice is hot.
  • Allow sushi rice to cool to room temperature.
  • Finely chop tuna and mix with sriracha mayonnaise, and chopped chives.
  • Place a seaweed sheet on your sushi roller.
  • Using wet hands, scoop out rice and place evenly over surface of seaweed sheet. Place three spoonfuls of the spicy tuna in a line one third of the way up from the bottom of the sheet. Roll and shape into a triangle.
