Ingredients

Sushi Rice:

  • cup Japanese sushi-style rice

  • cup water

  • 2 ¼ teaspoons rice vinegar

  • 2 ¼ teaspoons white sugar

  • 1 teaspoon salt

Sushi Rolls:

  • 4 ounces sashimi-grade yellowfin tuna, cut into small chunks

  • cup mayonnaise

  • 3 tablespoons chile oil, or more to taste

  • 1 tablespoon sesame oil

  • 1 tablespoon sriracha sauce

  • 1 green onion, diced

  • 3 sheets nori, cut in half

  • ½ small ripe avocado, thinly sliced

  • ¼ English cucumber, cut into matchsticks

Directions

  1. Rinse rice in a strainer until water runs clear.

  2. Make the sushi rice: Combine rice and water in a saucepan; bring to a boil. Reduce heat to low, cover, and cook until rice is tender and water is absorbed, about 20 minutes.

  3. Combine rice vinegar, sugar, and salt in a small saucepan over low heat; stir until sugar is dissolved, 1 to 2 minutes. Pour over rice; stir until rice cools and looks dry.

  4. Prepare the sushi rolls: Mix tuna, mayonnaise, chile oil, sesame oil, sriracha sauce, and green onion in a bowl with a fork, mashing to break up some of the chunks. Leave a few chunks intact for texture.

  5. Cover a bamboo sushi rolling mat with plastic wrap. Lay 1 nori sheet, shiny-side down, on the mat. Spread a thin layer of rice over the nori. Layer avocado slices across the rice. Flip nori sheet so avocado is against the mat. Spread a generous layer of tuna mixture 3/4 of the way down the back of the nori; top with cucumber matchsticks.

  6. Roll up sushi using the rolling mat, tucking in ends with the plastic wrap. Remove plastic wrap and place sushi roll on a plate.

  7. Repeat with remaining nori, rice, avocado, tuna mixture, and cucumber.
