Sushi


Ingredients
1.5 c sushi rice
1 tbs white vinegar
water (enough to cover rice by 1/2" in saucepan)
1/2 avocado
1 tuna steak (thinly sliced)
wasabi
good quality soy sauce
seaweed paper

Directions:

  1. Cover rice with water, add vinegar & bring to boil
  2. Simmer for 20-25 minutes until rice is tender and liquid is absorbed (top up with water if needed)
  3. Let rice cool.
  4. (Option 1) Wet hands and roll rice into 2" long rolls.  Smear top of rice with wasabi & place thinly sliced tuna on top.
    (Option 2) On seaweed paper, spread rice 3 1/2-4" wide.  Leave 1/4" gap at each end.  Lay avocado and thinly sliced tuna in the middle of the rice.  Use bamboo sushi mat to roll tightly (this can be difficult).  Use a wet knife to slice in 1" portions.
    Here's a youtube clip to help you with your sushi rolling.
  5. Serve with soy sauce and extra wasabi
