Halloween Sushi

Prep Time40 minutes

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.
