Introduction

Save major money making sushi at home! This is an easy to make sushi roll that tastes just as good as its restaurant counterpart. I use a scale to figure out the exact amounts (and thus closer on the calories) but have listed measurements as well. Save major money making sushi at home!

Ingredients

    1.5 oz raw yellowfin tuna, chopped into rough 1/4" squares
    6 g (1/2 Tbs) mayo
    2 g (1/2 tsp) wasabi paste
    3 g (1 Tbs) tempura crumbles* 1 sheet nori
    90 grams (scant 1 c.) prepared sushi rice
    3 thin cucumber strips, deseeded

    * The true calories in the tempura crumbles is difficult to estimate; I assumed the entire weight was fat and substituted an equal weight of oil in the calorie estimator.

Directions

In a small bowl, mix chopped tuna, mayo, wasabi paste, and tempura crumbles (deep-fry small amounts of tempura batter until golden, drain well, and store in air-tight container for sushi). Set aside.

Lay sheet of nori on sushi mat (google for sushi making techniques, it's easy!). With damp hands, press the rice onto the nori in a very thin/single grain layer, leaving the top 3/4" inch of nori bare.

On the bottom half of the rice-covered nori, lay the cucumber strips out in a thin strip. Cover with tuna mixture to form an even 1" band. Roll tightly.

Cut with sharp wet knife into 8 equal pieces and serve with soy sauce.
