MAKE SPICY TUNA ROLLS AT HOME

Steps:

• Gather the ingredients.
• Chop the raw tuna into small cubes using a sharp knife. Combine with the mayonnaise and ichimi togarashi in a bowl and mix.
• Put a nori sheet on top of a bamboo mat and spread 1/4 portion of sushi rice on top of the nori sheet, creating an even layer. Leave a strip at the top of the nori bare to seal the roll. Sprinkle sesame seeds on top of the sushi rice.
• Spoon 1/4 of the tuna mixture lengthwise on the rice, making an even line of filling about 1/3 of the way up from the bottom of the nori.
• Roll up the bamboo mat from the bottom, pressing forward to shape the sushi into a cylinder.
• Press the bamboo mat firmly to seal and remove it from the sushi. Repeat this process to make 3 more rolls.
• Wipe a knife with a wet cloth before slicing sushi. Cut the rolled sushi into bite-sized pieces on a cutting board.
• Serve immediately and enjoy!

SPICY TUNA SUSHI ROLL

Steps:

• Bring the rice, water, and vinegar to a boil in a saucepan over high heat. Reduce heat to medium-low, cover, and simmer until the rice is tender, and the liquid has been absorbed, 20 to 25 minutes. Let stand, covered, for about 10 minutes to absorb any excess water. Set rice aside to cool.
• Lightly mix together the tuna, mayonnaise, chili powder, and wasabi paste in a bowl, breaking the tuna apart but not mashing it into a paste.
• To roll the sushi, cover a bamboo sushi rolling mat with plastic wrap. Lay a sheet of nori, rough side up, on the plastic wrap. With wet fingers, firmly pat a thick, even layer of prepared rice over the nori, covering it completely. Place about 1 tablespoon each of diced cucumber, carrot, and avocado in a line along the bottom edge of the sheet, and spread a line of tuna mixture alongside the vegetables.
• Pick up the edge of the bamboo rolling sheet, fold the bottom edge of the sheet up, enclosing the filling, and tightly roll the sushi into a thick cylinder. Once the sushi is rolled, wrap it in the mat and gently squeeze to compact it tightly. Cut each roll into 6 pieces, and refrigerate until served.

SPEEDY SPICY TUNA BOWLS

Steps:

• For the rice: Place the rice in a strainer and rinse under cold running water for about a minute, or until the water runs clear. Transfer the rice to a bowl and cover with cold water. If you have time, allow it to soak for 30 minutes. Soaking the rice ensures an even cook. If you do not have time to soak, the rice will still turn out, it will just be a little extra sticky.
• Drain the rice and transfer to a medium saucepan. Cover with the 1 3/4 cups water and stir in the salt. Bring the rice to a boil over medium-high heat. Cover and reduce the heat to low. Cook for 12 to 15 minutes, or until all of the water has been absorbed. Meanwhile, in a small bowl, whisk together the rice wine vinegar and sugar and set aside.
• Remove the pot from the heat and allow it to sit, covered, for 5 minutes before stirring in the vinegar mixture until fully absorbed. Divide the rice into 4 bowls and set aside to cool slightly while you prep the rest of the ingredients.
• For the tuna: Dice the tuna into 1-centimeter (1/2-inch) cubes and add to a bowl along with the sriracha, mayonnaise and sesame oil; toss to combine. Place the tuna in the fridge to stay cold until you are ready to assemble the bowls.
• For the toppings: Mix the mayonnaise, wasabi, vinegar and ginger together in a small bowl and set aside. Arrange the sliced cucumber, carrots and edamame on the rice. Top with the tuna and scatter with the green onions, sesame seeds, wasabi mayo and pickled ginger. Serve with soy on the side.

SPICY TUNA ROLLS

Steps:

• Cut off the bottom quarter of each nori sheet; reserve for another use.
• Combine chopped tuna, mayonnaise, green onions, and hot sauce in a bowl.
• Center 1 sheet of nori on a bamboo sushi mat. Wet your hands. Spread a thin layer of rice on the nori using your hands; press into a thin layer, leaving a 1/2-inch space at the bottom edge. Sprinkle with sesame seeds. Arrange 1/4 of the tuna mixture in a line across the rice, about 1/3 of the way down from the top of the sheet.
• Wet the uncovered edge of the nori. Lift the top end of the mat and firmly roll it over the ingredients. Roll it forward to make a complete roll. Repeat with remaining ingredients.
• Slice the rolls into 3/4-inch pieces using a wet knife. Serve immediately or refrigerate until serving.

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.
