Ingredients

• 1 cup Sushi rice
• 1.25 cups Water
• 2 tablespoons Rice vinegar
• 1 tablespoon Sugar
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 8 ounces Sushi-grade tuna
• 1 large Avocado
• 4 sheets Nori sheets
• 2 tablespoons Soy sauce
• 1 teaspoon Wasabi paste
• 2 tablespoons Pickled ginger

Directions

Step 1

Rinse the sushi rice under cold water until the water runs clear. Place it in a saucepan with 1.25 cups of water and bring to a boil.

Step 2

Once boiling, reduce the heat to low and cover the pan. Cook for 15 minutes, or until all the water is absorbed. Remove from heat and let it sit, covered, for 10 minutes.

Step 3

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

Step 4

While the rice is cooling, cut the sushi-grade tuna and avocado into long, thin strips.

Step 5

Place a bamboo sushi mat on a clean surface and cover with plastic wrap. Lay a sheet of nori on top, shiny side down.

Step 6

Spread a thin layer of the cooled sushi rice over the nori, leaving a 1-inch border at the top edge.

Step 7

Arrange strips of tuna and avocado horizontally across the center of the rice.

Step 8

Using the bamboo mat, carefully lift the edge closest to you and roll it over the filling, pressing gently to maintain a tight roll. Continue rolling until you reach the nori border.

Step 9

Slightly moisten the nori border with water to seal the edge.

Step 10

Repeat the process with the remaining ingredients to make additional rolls.

Step 11

Using a sharp knife, slice each roll into 6-8 pieces. Clean the knife with a damp cloth between slices to ensure clean cuts.

Step 12

Serve the sushi rolls with soy sauce, a dab of wasabi paste, and pickled ginger on the side.
