Spicy Tuna Caterpillar Roll
Created by: Howcan Team
Ingredients
- 2 cups sushi rice
- 4 sheets nori (seaweed)
- 1/2 pound sashimi-grade tuna, diced
- 2 tablespoons mayonnaise
- 1 tablespoon sriracha sauce
- 1 teaspoon sesame oil
- 1/2 teaspoon soy sauce
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black sesame seeds
- 1/4 teaspoon white sesame seeds
- 1 small cucumber, julienned
- 1 avocado, thinly sliced
- Bamboo sushi rolling mat
- Plastic wrap
Instructions
- Cook the sushi rice according to package instructions and let it cool to room temperature.
- In a small bowl, mix the diced tuna, mayonnaise, sriracha sauce, sesame oil, soy sauce, salt, black sesame seeds, and white sesame seeds until well combined. This will be the spicy tuna filling for the rolls.
- Lay a sheet of nori on the bamboo sushi rolling mat, shiny side down. Wet your hands with water to prevent sticking, then spread a thin layer of sushi rice evenly over the nori, leaving a 1-inch gap at the top.
- Place a layer of spicy tuna filling along the bottom edge of the rice-covered nori. Add a line of julienned cucumber and avocado slices on top of the spicy tuna.
- Using the bamboo mat, carefully roll the nori and rice over the filling, applying gentle pressure to shape it into a tight cylinder. Use the mat to help shape the roll into a smooth, round shape.
- Remove the roll from the bamboo mat and wrap it in plastic wrap. Use the mat to gently shape the roll into a more uniform shape, then unwrap the plastic wrap.
- Using a sharp knife, slice the roll into 8 equal pieces. Wipe the knife with a damp cloth between each slice to ensure clean cuts.
- Arrange the slices on a serving plate, and if desired, drizzle with additional sriracha sauce or spicy mayo for extra heat.
- Serve the spicy tuna caterpillar rolls with soy sauce, pickled ginger, and wasabi on the side. Enjoy!
