Equipment
- Bamboo sushi mat
Ingredients
- 1 cup Sushi rice
- 8 oz Ahi tuna
- 4 tsp Vegetable oil
- 8 Nori seaweed sheets
- 1/2 cup Cucumber chopped
- 1 Avocados pitted and diced
- 4 tbsp Panko breadcrumbs
- 4 tsp Wasabi paste
- 4 tbsp Pickled ginger
Yum Yum Sauce
- 3 tbsp Mayonnaise
- 2 tbsp Ketchup
- 2 tsp Rice wine vinegar
- 1 tsp Paprika
- 1 tsp Sugar
- 1 tsp Garlic powder
Instructions
- Cook the rice according to the instructions on the package. Once cooked, spread out on a plate or baking sheet in a thin layer to cool completely.
- Pat the ahi tuna steaks dry with a paper towel. Season both sides with salt and pepper.
- Heat the oil in a non-stick pan over medium-high heat until piping hot.
- Sear the tuna for 1 minute on each side for rare; 2 minutes on each side for medium-rare; or 3 minutes on each side for medium (if desiring medium-well or well-done sear the outside of the tuna in the pan 1 minute per each side and finish in a 350°F oven on a baking sheet for 5 to 6 minutes so the tuna does not burn).
- Remove the tuna from the pan onto a cutting board, and allow to rest for 5 minutes before chopping into small pieces.
- Lightly dampen the nori sheet with water until it becomes flexible. Lay the nori sheet on a sushi mat (alternatively you can use a piece of parchment paper).
- Spread a thin layer of the cooled rice on the nori sheet (dampen your hands to prevent the rice from sticking). Place the chopped tuna, cucumber, avocado, and sprinkle with panko breadcrumbs. Gently roll up the nori sheet. Dampen an additional nori sheet if needed to double wrap the roll if the nori tears or rips. Then set aside. (Repeat this process with any additional sushi rolls.)
- In a bowl, whisk together all of the ingredients for the Yum Yum Sauce.
- Slice the sushi rolls into 6 pieces, drizzle with Yum Yum sauce; garnish with wasabi and pickled ginger.
