Ingredients
Makes 8 rolls (48 pieces)
Special Equipment
Step 1
Fill large bowl with ice water and lemon slices.
Step 2
Place sushi mat on cutting board with slats running crosswise. Arrange 1 sheet nori, shiny side down, on mat, lining up long edge of sheet with edge of mat nearest you. Lightly moisten hands with lemon water, then gently spread about 3/4 cup rice onto nori in even layer, leaving 1/2-inch border on long end opposite you.
步骤3
Brush 1/2 teaspoon wasabi paste in thin horizontal line across rice about 1 inch from side nearest you. Arrange about 1/8 of tuna strips in horizontal line atop wasabi line, cutting tuna as necessary to fit from side to side.
Step 4
Beginning with edge nearest you, lift mat up with thumbs, holding filling in place with fingers, and fold mat over filling so that upper and lower edges of rice meet. Squeeze gently but firmly along length of roll and tug top edge of mat away from you to tighten. (Nori border will still be visible below top edge of mat.) Open mat and roll log forward 1/4 turn, then fold mat over again and squeeze gently but firmly to seal nori border. Repeat to form remaining rolls.
Step 5
Transfer 1 roll, seam side down, to cutting board. Dip sharp knife into lemon water, shaking off excess. Slice roll in half, then cut each half into 3 pieces. Slice remaining rolls in same manner. Serve immediately with remaining wasabi paste, ginger, daikon, carrots, and soy sauce.

Back to TopI followed the easy directions and it tasted great! I also used seedless cucumber slivers in the sushi rolls.

I figured out how to make plenty of different rolls by watching the chefs in restaurants with bars. Also, those mats aren't terribly necessary. I make rolls with wax paper and a firm hand. I could never find the bamboo mat in stores...

Making this sushi was a lot of fun, if a little labor intensive. The rice is certainly tricky. In addition to tuna rolls, I also did some with salmon and avocado or cucumber, and veggie ones with lettuce, carrot or cucumber, avocado and cream cheese. Beautiful and delicious!
