Description
Spicy Seattle Tuna Rolls are bold, flavorful sushi rolls filled with sashimi-grade tuna, green onion, soy sauce, and Japanese chili oil (Ra-yu). Wrapped in seasoned sushi rice and crisp nori, these rolls deliver fresh seafood flavor with a spicy kick—perfect for making restaurant-style sushi at home.
Ingredients
6 oz sashimi-grade tuna
1 green onion, thinly sliced
2 tsp soy sauce
1 tsp Ra-yu (Japanese chili oil)
2 sheets nori (roasted seaweed)
2 cups sushi rice, cooked and seasoned
Instructions
- Cut tuna into small pieces and thinly slice green onion.
- Mix tuna, green onion, Ra-yu, and soy sauce in a bowl.
- Place a sushi mat on a flat surface and lay a nori sheet shiny side down.
- Spread 1 cup sushi rice evenly over nori, leaving a 1-inch border at the top.
- Spoon tuna mixture in a line across the center of the rice.
- Using the mat, roll tightly from the bottom up, tucking as you go.
- Slice roll into ½-inch pieces with a sharp knife, wiping blade between cuts.
- Serve with soy sauce, wasabi, or pickled ginger if desired.
Notes
- Only use sashimi-grade tuna for safety when eating raw.
- Wipe your knife with a damp cloth between cuts for clean slices.
- For a creamy variation, add mayonnaise to the tuna mixture.
- Best enjoyed fresh—sushi rice hardens in the fridge.
