Ingredients

  • 1 cup sushi rice
  • 2 sheets nori sheets
  • 2 tbsp black tobiko
  • 1 avocado
  • 4 oz sushi-grade tuna
  • 1 serving lemon wedges, pickled ginger, and wasabi for serving

Instructions

  1. 1

    Cook 1 cup sushi rice according to package directions, then let cool slightly. Season with a pinch of salt and a splash of rice vinegar if you have it.

  2. 2

    Slice 1 avocado and 4 oz tuna into thin strips. Lay 1 nori sheet on a bamboo mat or clean surface, shiny side down.

  3. 3

    Spread half the rice evenly over the nori, leaving a 1 inch strip at the top. Sprinkle 1 tbsp black tobiko over the rice.

  4. 4

    Arrange half the avocado and tuna in a line across the center. Roll tightly, using the mat to press firmly, then seal the edge with a little water.

  5. 5

    Repeat with remaining ingredients. Slice each roll into 6 pieces with a sharp knife. Serve with lemon wedges, pickled ginger, and wasabi.
