Ingredients
1 6 oz. can light tuna, drainedOR equal amount of cooked shrimp, smoked salmon, cooked fish or anchovies, chopped into pea-size bits6 sheets nori (flat seaweed wrappers) 1 large carrot, cut into long matchsticks1 cucumber, peeled, hollowed out and cut into long matchsticks2 Tbs. light mayonnaise1 tsp wasabi pastesalt, pepper, ground ginger, to taste
Directions
Drain tuna. Put in bowl and fluff with fork. If using other seafood, drain and chop in a food processor.
Mix the seafood with the mayo and wasabi paste. Add spices to taste.
Peel the carrot and cut into long, thin strips about 1/8 to 1/4 diameter. Peel the cucumber, cut in half lengthwise, and scoop out the seeds with a spoon. Cut like the carrot.
Lay 1 nori sheet on a bamboo rolling mat. It should look like a piece of paper in front of you.
About 2 inches from the bottom, spoon out a thin line of tuna mix, about 1/6 of the mixture. Lay a few carrot and cucumber sticks on top. Begin rolling, according to the instructions on the mat. It may help to slightly wet the top end to seal it. Cut into 2 inch long pieces. Repeat with the remaining tuna and nori. If making ahead, do not cut, and instead wrap in saran wrap and refrigerate for up to 3 days. Serve over cooked rice, noodles, or salad. Serves 2.

    Sounds good, but I wouldn't substitute the rice for tuna; imho part of the joy of sushi is that it's a meal on it's own, if you take the rice out, it stops being so! Not a bad idea though. - 7/14/11

    Interesting--using the tuna mix instead of rice. Sounds more like a tuna sandwich with nori for bread. Still, may have to try it. - 4/12/11
