Spicy Tuna Soy Roll Recipes

SPICY TUNA ROLLS

Steps:

• Combine tuna, chives, sesame oil, soy sauce, vinegar, salt and pepper in a medium bowl. Cover tightly and refrigerate. Mix the mayonnaise and chili paste in a small bowl, cover and refrigerate. Slice the cucumbers lengthwise, as thinly as possible into approximately 5-inch lengths. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Place 1 heaping teaspoon of the tuna tartar on one end of the cucumber slice. Roll up. The cucumber, when very thinly sliced, will stick together and stay rolled without a toothpick. Continue making rolls with the remaining ingredients.
• Top each roll with 1/4 teaspoon dollop of spicy mayonnaise and a sprinkling of sesame seeds.

SPICY TUNA ROLL WITH GINGER-SOY DIPPING SAUCE

Steps:

• For the ginger-soy dipping sauce: Combine the soy sauce, vinegar, chile garlic sauce, garlic, scallions and ginger in a small bowl. Stir well to combine and set aside.
• For the spicy tuna: Mix the tuna with the mayo and chile garlic sauce in a medium bowl. Lightly toss to coat and set aside.
• For the sushi roll: Prepare a bamboo sushi rolling mat by wrapping it completely in a tight layer of plastic wrap. Additionally, fill a small bowl with water and the rice wine vinegar and set aside.
• Fold a sheet of nori about an inch up and remove the bottom piece. Briefly toast over an open flame until pliable, about 10 seconds.
• Put the toasted nori sheet shiny-side down on the wrapped bamboo mat. Gently press and spread some of the rice on the nori sheet, leaving about 1 inch exposed on top. Dip your fingers in the water/vinegar bowl if the rice is sticking to your hands.
• Starting about 1/2 inch up from the bottom of the nori, spread a very small amount of wasabi paste along the length of the sheet. Spoon an even layer of the spicy tuna over the wasabi and place some of the cucumber strips on the sides of the spicy tuna. Add 3 to 4 pieces avocado in a single layer. Roll the nori up over the fillings and tuck under to enclose entirely. Gently press the bamboo mat and continue rolling to tighten. Remove the bamboo mat and trim the ends of the roll.
• With a clean knife, cut the sushi roll in half. Line up the halves and cut through both rolls to make 6 even pieces. Repeat this process with the remaining ingredients to make the second roll. Serve the rolls with a dollop of wasabi paste and small bowls of the dipping sauce.

SPICY TUNA ROLL

Steps:

• In a small bowl, mix together tuna with mayonnaise and red pepper sauce. Cut nori sheet in half and place it on bamboo mat, shiny side down. Dampen your fingers in water. Spread a thin layer of sushi rice over the seaweed, do not cover completely. Leave a 1-inch margin at the ends uncovered to seal the roll. Lay 2 tablespoons spicy tuna across rice.
• To roll; slowly fold the end of the mat closest to you over the filling and tuck it in. Use medium pressure to create a compact tube. Remove the mat from around the roll, press in the loose ends and place it on a cutting board, seam side down. Using a wet, sharp knife, slice the roll in half then into 6 equal pieces. Garnish with radish sprouts. Serve with wasabi, soy sauce and pickled ginger.
