Ingredients

• 1 cup Gluten-free sushi rice
• 1.25 cups Water
• 2 tablespoons Rice vinegar
• 1 teaspoon Sugar
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 4 ounces Fresh tuna (sashimi-grade)
• 0.5 unit Avocado
• 2 sheets Gluten-free nori (seaweed sheets)
• 2 tablespoons Gluten-free soy sauce
• 2 tablespoons Pickled ginger (optional, for serving)
• 1 teaspoon Wasabi (optional, for serving)

Directions

Step 1

Rinse the sushi rice thoroughly in cold water until the water runs clear to remove excess starch.

Step 2

In a medium saucepan, combine the rinsed sushi rice and water. Bring to a boil over medium heat, then reduce to low, cover, and simmer for 12 minutes. Remove from heat and let it sit, covered, for 10 minutes.

Step 3

In a small bowl, mix the rice vinegar, sugar, and salt until dissolved. Gently fold this mixture into the cooked rice with a wooden spoon. Let the rice cool to room temperature.

Step 4

Cut the fresh tuna into thin strips approximately 1/2 inch wide and 3-4 inches long. Slice the avocado into thin strips as well.

Step 5

Place a sheet of gluten-free nori, shiny side down, on a bamboo sushi mat (or a clean kitchen towel covered with plastic wrap).

Step 6

Spread half of the seasoned sushi rice evenly over the nori sheet, leaving a 1-inch border at the top to seal the roll.

Step 7

Lay several strips of tuna and avocado horizontally across the center of the rice.

Step 8

Using the bamboo mat, begin rolling the sushi tightly from the bottom edge while applying gentle pressure to form a compact roll. Seal the edge with a dab of water.

Step 9

Repeat the process with the second nori sheet and the remaining ingredients.

Step 10

Using a sharp knife dipped in water, slice each roll into 6-8 pieces. Clean the knife between cuts for clean slices.

Step 11

Serve the gluten-free tuna avocado rolls with gluten-free soy sauce, pickled ginger, and wasabi on the side if desired.
