- In a small bowl, mix the diced tuna with mayonnaise and sriracha sauce until well combined.
- Place a bamboo sushi mat on a clean surface and put a sheet of nori seaweed on top, shiny side down.
- Wet your hands and spread a thin layer of sushi rice over the nori, leaving a 1-inch border at the top.
- Sprinkle sesame seeds over the rice and flip the nori over so the rice is facing down on the mat.
- Arrange a line of tuna mixture, cucumber, and avocado along the bottom edge of the nori.
- Using the bamboo mat, roll the maki tightly, applying gentle pressure as you roll.
- Moisten the top border of the nori with a little water to seal the roll.
- Repeat the process with the remaining nori and ingredients.
- Using a sharp knife, slice each roll into 6-8 pieces.
- Serve the spicy tuna maki with soy sauce, pickled ginger, and wasabi. Enjoy!
