Rinse the sushi rice until the water runs clear.
Rest the rice with the water for 15 minutes, then cook for 15 minutes.
Let the cooked rice rest covered for 10 minutes.
Dissolve the rice vinegar, sugar and salt and fold into the hot rice.
Cut the tuna into long batons with a sharp knife using diagonal strokes.
Spread rice thinly over nori, place the tuna in the center and roll tightly.
Cut the roll into 6 pieces with a damp sharp knife and serve with soy sauce, wasabi and gari.
💡 Tip: Moistening the knife lightly before each cut separates the rolls without crushing them.
🍽️ Serving suggestion: Serve on small plates with soy sauce, gari and wasabi.
