Tuna Salad Sushi Roll Recipe

Fresh, spicy, and perfect for sushi night, this Tuna Salad Sushi Roll brings creamy tuna, warm wasabi heat, and crisp cucumber.

📝 Ingredients

• 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)

👨‍🍳 Instructions

1. 1Mix the tuna, mayonnaise, and wasabi in a bowl until the mixture is smooth and evenly combined.
2. 2To 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. 3Arrange 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. 4Lift 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. 5After rolling, gently squeeze along the length of the mat to set and firm up the roll.
6. 6Repeat the rolling process to make the second roll.
7. 7Slice each roll into 5 or 6 pieces with a very sharp knife and serve with soy sauce, pickled ginger, and wasabi on the side.
