Treat yourself to these delightful rolls tonight for a refreshing burst of flavor and health!

1

Rinse 1 cup of sushi rice in cold water until the water runs clear to remove excess starch. This will help keep the rice from becoming sticky.

2

Combine the rinsed rice and 1.5 cups of water in a rice cooker or saucepan. If using a saucepan, bring it to a boil, then cover and reduce heat to low, cooking for 15 minutes until the water is absorbed.

3

Once cooked, remove from heat and let the rice sit, covered, for 10 minutes to steam. This ensures a perfect texture.

4

In a small bowl, mix 2 tablespoons of rice vinegar, 1 teaspoon of sugar, and 1 teaspoon of salt until dissolved. Gently fold this mixture into the warm rice using a wooden spoon or spatula. Let it cool to room temperature.

5

While the rice is cooling, prepare your fillings. Slice the tuna into thin strips and the avocado into slices.

6

Lay a bamboo sushi mat on a clean, flat surface and place one nori sheet, shiny side down, on the mat.

7

Moisten your hands with water to prevent the rice from sticking. Take a handful of the sushi rice, about 1/4 of the cooled rice, and spread it evenly over the nori, leaving about 1 inch at the top edge.

8

Lay 2-3 strips of tuna and a few slices of avocado in a line along the center of the rice.

9

Using the bamboo mat, carefully roll the sushi away from you, pressing gently but firmly to compact the ingredients inside. Roll until you reach the exposed edge of the nori. Moisten it with a little water to seal the roll.

10

Repeat this process with the remaining nori sheets and ingredients.

11

Once rolled, use a sharp knife to slice each roll into 6-8 pieces. Wipe the knife with a damp cloth after each cut to keep the edges clean.

12

To serve, arrange the rolls on a plate and sprinkle with sesame seeds. Serve with soy sauce for dipping.
