Spicy Tuna Roll:

  • Place a sheet of nori shiny side down on a bamboo mat covered with plastic wrap. Spread sushi rice evenly on the nori and sprinkle with sesame seeds.
  • Arrange the tuna mixture along the bottom edge of the nori.
  • Start rolling the nori over the filling while gently pressing along the length of the roll. Continue rolling until you pass the far edge of the nori sheet.
  • Once fully rolled, gently press the roll along its length to ensure it’s compact and tight.
  • Wet the blade of a sharp knife and cut each sushi roll into 6–8 pieces, cleaning the knife with a damp cloth every few cuts.

Spicy Mayo:

  • In a small bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise, sriracha sauce, and lime juice.
