Rolo de sushi com salada de atum

Ingredientes

• 185 g – 6.5 oz tinned tuna (– drained)
• 1 1/2 tbsp mayonnaise
• 1 to 1 1/2 tsp wasabi paste (– adjusted to taste)
• 2 cups cooked sushi rice (– seasoned)
• 2 sheets nori
• 1/2 cucumber (– sliced into 4 long pieces)

Modo de preparo

1. 1

   Mix the tuna, mayonnaise, and wasabi in a bowl until the mixture is smooth and evenly combined.

2. 2

   To roll the sushi, cover a bamboo sushi rolling mat with plastic wrap, then place a sheet of nori on top with the rough side facing up. With wet fingers, firmly press a thick, even layer of seasoned sushi rice over the nori until it is fully covered.

3. 3

   Arrange 2 slices of cucumber in a line along the bottom edge of the nori, then spread a line of the tuna mixture right beside the cucumber.

4. 4

   Lift the edge of the bamboo mat and fold the bottom section of the nori up and over the filling, then roll it forward tightly to form a compact cylinder.

5. 5

   After rolling, gently squeeze along the length of the mat to set and firm up the roll.

6. 6

   Repeat the rolling process to make the second roll.

7. 7

   Slice each roll into 5 or 6 pieces with a very sharp knife and serve with soy sauce, pickled ginger, and wasabi on the side.
