Tuna Sushi Burrito Recipes

SUSHI BURRITOS

Steps:

• Place sushi rice in a medium bowl. Combine vinegar, sugar, and salt in a small saucepan and bring to a simmer over medium heat. Stir until sugar and salt have dissolved, about 1 minute. Pour vinegar mixture over sushi rice and mix to combine. Set aside.
• Place each nori sheet onto a piece of parchment paper on a clean work surface. Top each sheet with 1 cup sushi rice, pressing to create an even layer, leaving 1 inch exposed at the bottom of the sheet and 1/2 inch exposed on the sides and top. Spread 1 1/2 tablespoons mayonnaise lengthwise down the middle of the rice. Top each with 1/4 cup avocado slices, 1/4 cup cucumber, 2 tablespoons carrot, 1 tablespoon radish, 1/2 ounce smoked salmon slices, and 1/2 ounce cream cheese. Make sure all ingredients run down the length of the mayonnaise in the center of each burrito.
• Wet fingers with a little bit of water and spread on the bottom of each nori sheet. Using parchment paper, tightly roll the bottom of each nori sheet up over salmon, cream cheese, and vegetables, and continue rolling until completely sealed. Use parchment paper to press and ensure roll is tight. Discard parchment paper and slice sushi burritos in half on a diagonal. Serve immediately.

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.

LINDA'S TUNA BURRITOS

Steps:

• Mix together tuna, olives, onions, cheddar cheese, and salad dressing.

• Place 1/2 cup tuna mixture on each burrito.
• Serve seam side down with shredded lettuce and chopped tomato.

SUSHI BURRITO

Steps:

• Put the rice in a bowl, cover with cold water and massage to remove the starch. Drain and repeat until the water runs clear. Put the rice in a small saucepan, cover with 2.5cm of water and put on a tight-fitting lid. Simmer on a medium heat for 10 mins, then take off the heat (leaving the lid on) and steam for a further 15 mins. Stir in the vinegar, then cool completely.
• Toss the cucumber and carrot matchsticks in the soy and leave to marinate.
• Lay out a sushi mat and put a nori sheet, shiny-side down, on top of it. Spread a quarter of the rice over the nori, leaving a 1cm border at the top. Mix the wasabi, ginger and lime juice.
• Layer with the avocado, cucumber and carrot, and tuna. Top with the wasabi mix and coriander. Dampen the top border with a little water, fold in both sides of the nori sheet, then use the sushi mat to help roll. Wrap in foil, slice in half and serve.
