First, let’s start with the rice. You’ll need to bring it to a boil in a saucepan with some water and rice vinegar. Once it’s boiling, reduce the heat to medium-low, cover it, and let it simmer for about 20-25 minutes, or until the rice is tender and the liquid has been absorbed. Then, let it stand for about 10 minutes to absorb any excess water.
While the rice is cooking, you can prepare the tuna mixture. Simply mix together some canned tuna, mayonnaise, chili powder, and wasabi paste in a bowl. Be careful not to mash the tuna, you want to keep it nice and chunky!

Now it’s time to assemble the sushi roll. Cover a bamboo sushi rolling mat with plastic wrap, and lay a sheet of nori (dry seaweed) on top. With wet fingers, firmly pat a thick, even layer of prepared rice over the nori, covering it completely.
Next, place some 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.
This Spicy Tuna Sushi Roll is perfect for a filling Japanese meal, and it tastes amazing with a wasabi soy dip. So go ahead, give it a try, and enjoy the spicy kick!
