These rolls are suitable to make ahead – just top with mayo when ready to serve.
Halloween Sushi
Ingredients
- 150 grams sushi rice
- 300 ml water
- 2 tablespoons rice wine vinegar
- 40 grams tuna
- 1 heaped tablespoon mayonnaise
- sea salt
- 1 teaspoon sriracha sauce
- 4 snack cucumber
- 3 sheets nori seaweed
- 3 tablespoons soy sauce
Instructions
- Makes about 18 rolls.
- Wash the rice in a small pot until the water runs clear.
- Top the drained rice with the water.
- Cook the rice on medium heat until boiling, then reduce to low for 20 minutes. Keep the lid on.
- After 20 minutes, turn off the heat.
- Add the rice vinegar and fluff the rice with a fork.
- Allow to cool.
- Mix the tuna with three tablespoons of cooked rice, a heaped tablespoon of mayo, and a sprinkle of sea salt.
- Place a nori sheet on a flat surface. Top the entire sheet with rice, leaving a bit free at the top and bottom (use a bowl of water for your fingers to limit sticking).
- Arrange half of the tuna rice on the bottom section of the nori sheet.
- Drizzle the tuna mixture with sriracha.
- Peel, and top and tail the snack cucumbers.
- Arrange the cucumbers in a row on top of the sriracha sauce.
- Roll the sushi and wrap it together tightly.
- Slice the sushi roll in half, and then cut the roll into equal pieces (I got 9).
- Repeat with another nori sheet.
- Top the cucumber ‘eyes’ with nori pupils (which you can cut out of a small piece of nori) and a dollop of mayo for the highlight in the eye.
- Serve.
