Spicy Cooked Tuna Roll
A spicy tuna roll made with canned tuna keeps sushi night simple. Creamy, bold flavor wrapped in seasoned rice—no raw fish required.
Ingredients
- Sushi Rice
- 2 cups (500 mL) short-grain sushi rice
- 3 cups (750 mL) water
- ¼ cup (60 mL) rice vinegar
- ¼ cup (60 mL) sugar
- 1 tsp (5 mL) salt
- Tuna Roll
- 1 can (4 oz./125 g) tuna, drained
- 1-2 tbsp (15–30 mL) sriracha hot sauce
- 3 tbsp (45 mL) mayonnaise (see cook’s tip)
- Oil for greasing
- 3 sheets nori seaweed
- Optional: cucumber matchsticks or sliced avocado and soy sauce for serving
Directions
- Place the rice in a mesh colander and rinse with cool water until the water runs clear. Transfer the rice to the 3-qt. (3-L) Micro-Cooker® Plus. Add the water; cover with the lid and microwave for 12–15 minutes, or until cooked. Let stand, covered, for 10 minutes.
- Combine the remaining ingredients in a small bowl and stir until the sugar and salt are completely dissolved.
- Fluff the rice with a fork and pour the mixture over the rice and gently stir to coat. Let the mixture come to room temperature before using.
- Combine the tuna, sriracha, and mayonnaise in a small bowl.
- Lightly grease the barrel and plunger of the Easy Roll Maker.
- Fill both sides of the barrel with sushi rice, then press the plunger into both sides to make space for fillings.
- Add about 2 tbsp (30 mL) of the tuna salad and cucumber or avocado, if using, evenly along the divots.
- Reattach the plunger, close and latch the barrel, then lock on the end cap. Turn the plunger until it’s past the threads, then gently press until you feel resistance.
- Place a sheet of nori (shiny side down) on a cutting board and press the rice roll onto it, aligning the ends.
- Roll up the nori, sealing the edge with a little water. Let it rest a few minutes to soften the nori, then slice into 8–12 pieces.
- Repeat steps 6–10 to make 2 more rolls. Serve with soy sauce, if you’d like
Yield:
- 6 servings
Cook's Tips:
Use Japanese mayonnaise, if you can find it. It's richer, thicker, and has a sweeter flavor from egg yolks and rice vinegar.
