Ingredients
- Coriander: small pack coriander, leaves picked
- Carrot: 1 carrot, cut into matchsticks
- Lime: 1 lime, juiced
- Soy Sauce: 1 tbsp soy sauce
- Cucumber: 1/2 cucumber, cut into matchsticks
- Ginger: 50g pickled ginger, finely chopped
- Tuna Steak: 200g sushi grade tuna steak, sliced
- Rice Wine Vinegar: 2 tsp rice wine vinegar
- Sushi Rice: 150g sushi rice
- Nori: 4 nori sheets
- Wasabi: 2 tsp wasabi paste
- Avocados: 2 very ripe avocados, halved, stoned, peeled and sliced
Directions
- Put the rice in a bowl, cover with cold water and massage to remove the starch. Drain and repeat until the water runs clear. Put the rice in a small saucepan, cover with 2.5cm of water and put on a tight-fitting lid. Simmer on a medium heat for 10 mins, then take off the heat (leaving the lid on) and steam for a further 15 mins. Stir in the vinegar, then cool completely.
- Toss the cucumber and carrot matchsticks in the soy and leave to marinate.
- Lay out a sushi mat and put a nori sheet, shiny-side down, on top of it. Spread a quarter of the rice over the nori, leaving a 1cm border at the top. Mix the wasabi, ginger and lime juice.
- Layer with the avocado, cucumber and carrot, and tuna. Top with the wasabi mix and coriander. Dampen the top border with a little water, fold in both sides of the nori sheet, then use the sushi mat to help roll. Wrap in foil, slice in half and serve.
