Created by: Howcan Team
Ingredients
- 2 cups sushi rice
- 4 sheets nori seaweed

- 2 tbsp sriracha sauce
- 1 cucumber, julienned
- 1 avocado, sliced
- 1 tbsp sesame seeds
- Soy sauce, for serving

Instructions
- Rinse the sushi rice in a fine-mesh strainer until the water runs clear. Cook the rice according to package instructions and let it cool to room temperature.
- 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!
Maki is a traditional Japanese dish consisting of sushi rice and various ingredients, such as fish, vegetables, and nori (seaweed), rolled into a cylindrical shape and sliced into bite-sized pieces. Originating in Japan, maki has become a popular dish worldwide, known for its fresh and flavorful taste. Skilled sushi chefs, particularly in regions like Tokyo and Osaka, are renowned for their expertise in crafting maki with precision and artistry. The key to a perfect maki lies in the quality of ingredients, especially the freshness of the fish and the balance of flavors within the roll. Today, the best maki can be found in authentic Japanese restaurants, where chefs uphold the traditional techniques and use the finest, locally sourced ingredients.
