Ingredients

• 1 cup Sushi rice
• 1.25 cups Water
• 3 tablespoons Rice vinegar
• 1 tablespoon Sugar
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 4 ounces Fresh tuna (sashimi grade)
• 1 whole 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. Drain well.

Step 2

Combine the rinsed rice and water in a rice cooker, and cook according to the manufacturer's instructions.

Step 3

While the rice cooks, mix rice vinegar, sugar, and salt in a small saucepan. Heat over low heat, stirring until sugar dissolves. Remove from heat and let cool.

Step 4

Once the rice has finished cooking, transfer it to a large bowl and gently fold in the vinegar mixture. Allow the rice to cool to room temperature.

Step 5

Slice the tuna into thin strips and set aside.

Step 6

Cut the avocado in half, remove the pit and skin, and slice it thinly.

Step 7

Place a bamboo sushi mat on a flat surface and cover it with plastic wrap.

Step 8

Lay a nori sheet, shiny side down, on the mat.

Step 9

Moisten your hands with water and spread an even layer of sushi rice over two-thirds of the nori, leaving the top third empty.

Step 10

Arrange tuna and avocado slices along the center of the rice.

Step 11

Lift the edge of the mat and carefully roll it forward, ensuring the filling is tightly wrapped. Press firmly along the mat to seal and create a tight roll.

Step 12

Once rolled, use a sharp knife to cut the roll into 6-8 equal pieces. Clean the knife with a damp cloth between cuts to maintain neat slices.

Step 13

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