Healthy Spicy Tuna Sushi Recipe

Ingredients

• 2 cups sushi rice
• 2 1/2 cups water
• 1/4 cup rice vinegar
• 1 tablespoon sugar (optional)
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 8 oz sushi-grade tuna, diced
• 1 avocado, sliced
• 1 cucumber, julienned
• 1/4 cup Greek yogurt (for spicy sauce)
• 1 tablespoon sriracha (adjust to taste)
• 1 tablespoon sesame seeds
• Pickled ginger, for serving
• Nori sheets (seaweed)

Instructions

1. Rinse the sushi rice under cold water until the water runs clear. Combine with 2 1/2 cups of water in a rice cooker and cook according to the manufacturer's instructions (about 20 minutes).
2. In a small bowl, mix rice vinegar, sugar, and salt until dissolved. Once the rice is cooked, transfer it to a large bowl and gently fold in the vinegar mixture. Let it cool to room temperature.
3. In another bowl, combine Greek yogurt and sriracha to create the spicy sauce. Adjust the sriracha to your preferred spice level.
4. Lay a sheet of nori on a bamboo sushi mat. Spread a thin layer of sushi rice over the nori, leaving a small border at the top.
5. Place a line of diced tuna, avocado slices, and cucumber along the bottom edge of the rice.
6. Using the mat, carefully roll the sushi away from you, pressing gently to form a tight roll. Seal the edge with a little water.
7. Slice the roll into bite-sized pieces and sprinkle with sesame seeds. Serve with pickled ginger and the spicy sauce on the side.
