Tuna Sushi recipe

Did someone mention sushi?

While many individuals turn to restaurants and grocery stores for their preferred fresh-made rolls, preparing sushi at home is actually quite simple. I am confident that you already possess many of the necessary ingredients in your refrigerator, freezer, and pantry.

I typically purchase my fresh sushi from Heinen’s, particularly on Wednesdays when it is offered at a discount. I enjoy observing the skilled sushi chefs as they meticulously craft each roll behind the counter, knowing that every package I bring home is as fresh as possible. Moreover, the $6 price is unbeatable!

Nevertheless, when I find myself with a bit more time, I opt to make sushi at home using high-quality ingredients from Heinen’s. It is surprisingly straightforward to accomplish. You don’t even require a bamboo mat!

Easy Tuna Sushi Rolls

For this specific roll, fresh nori wraps encase Heinen’s organic cooked white rice. I always keep a few packages of this rice readily available for a quick addition to meals. All you need to do is microwave it for 90 seconds for a convenient side dish or a vital component of an authentic sushi roll.

The filling of this roll consists of Heinen’s frozen ahi tuna. Caught in the wild, responsibly sourced, and quickly frozen to maintain freshness, Heinen’s entire range of frozen seafood is the highest quality I have encountered in a grocery store. Once thawed, you would never suspect it had been frozen initially. Combined with cucumbers and avocado, and wrapped in the nori and rice exterior using parchment paper, all that remains is to slice and savor!

This recipe is highly customizable, so if you have specific fillings in mind, feel free to substitute them. However, every sushi roll requires a dipping sauce. I suggest keeping it simple and traditional with soy sauce, wasabi, or sriracha mayo.

Ready, set, roll!

Ingredients:

• ½ lb of fresh tuna fillet.
• 2 cups of sushi rice.
• Wasabi horseradish sauce.

Directions:

Slice the tuna into one-inch by two-inch rectangles, about a quarter-inch thick.
Take a small amount of the sushi rice and cradle it in your right hand at the base of your finger.
Using your hands, take the rice and form a rectangular shape to match the tuna slices.
Spread Wasabi horseradish on the slice of tuna.
Place the rice block on top, and press gently to shape the sushi.
Serve as desired. Enjoy!
