Spicy Tuna Maki Recipe
- 5 ounces sashimi-grade ahi tuna (yellowfin or bigeye), chopped finely
- 2 tablespoons minced green onions
- 2 tablespoons mayonnaise
- 1 tablespoon chili oil or Sriracha hot sauce
- 4 sheets nori, cut in half crosswise
- 2 cups cooked and cooled Sushi Rice (recipe link in intro)
- Pickled ginger
- Wasabi
- Soy sauce
- In a small bowl, mix together the tuna, onions, mayonnaise, and chili oil or hot sauce.
- Set aside.
- Place a bamboo sushi mat on a flat work surface with the slats running horizontally.
- Lay a piece of plastic wrap over the bamboo mat.
- Place a half sheet of nori on the plastic wrap.
- With wet hands, spread about 1/2 cup of the rice over the surface of the nori, leaving about a 1/2-inch of nori uncovered on the furthest edge.
- Press and spread the rice firmly but gently, wetting your hands again if needed to prevent sticking.
- Spoon a thin line of the tuna mixture down the center of the rice.
- Begin rolling the edge of the bamboo closest to you, over the tuna mixture, using the mat to press down on the sushi roll firmly but gently as you roll.
- When you get to the raw edge of nori, use your finger to lightly wet the nori, then continue to roll up so its sealed.
- The nori should stick to itself when the roll is complete.
- Remove the plastic wrap and set the roll aside, covering with a damp cloth while you work to finish the remaining rolls.
- Repeat until all of the rice has been used.
- Cut the roll in half, then into thirds so each roll results in 6 pieces.
- Serve with pickled ginger, wasabi, and soy sauce.
