Best 6 Lazy Woman Spicy Tuna Roll Recipes

SPICY TUNA ROLLS

Steps:

• Chop the scallions, reserving some of the greens for garnish.
• Slice the tuna into thin strips and then turn the strips 90 degrees and chop it up. If you want your spicy tuna chunky, you can stop here, or you can continue to chop the tuna up with your knife until the pieces are smaller. I usually add the scallion stems in here and chop them up together with the tuna.
• Transfer the chopped tuna to a bowl, and add the sriracha, soy sauce, sugar, sesame oil, and tobiko, and stir everything together until mixed. Cover and keep the mixture refrigerated until you're ready to use it.
• Make some Tezu by adding a few tablespoons of rice vinegar to a small bowl of water.
• For the Gunkan, you want to cut the nori according to the diagram in the headnotes above.
• Wet your hands with the tezu and grab about 2 tablespoons of rice. Gently press it into a rectangle with your fingers, but don't smash the individual grains of rice.
• Wrap each rectangle of rice with the strips of nori you cut for the gunkan.
• Press the center of the rice to make the rice fill out the nori wrapper.
• Spoon some spicy tuna into each cup of nori. Garnish with scallion greens.
• For Hosomaki, the full sheets of nori should be cut in half according to the diagram above.
• Place the nori at the bottom edge of a sushi mat with the shiny side down.
• Wet your hands in the Tezu and grab a small handful of rice. Place the rice in a line along the nori's top edge working from one side to the other. Be sure to leave a thin margin of nori at the top.
• Wet your hands again if needed and spread the rice to the bottom edge of the nori sheet using a picking and pressing motion. Don't smash or smear the rice.
• Spread a thin line of spicy tuna in the lower half of the rice from one side to the other.
• To roll the spicy tuna hosomaki, use the mat to flip the bottom edge up and over the filling and make sure this edge meets the rice's top edge.
• Pull the edge of the mat away from the nori and push the back of the mat forward, so the seam rolls to the bottom.
• Use your fingers to press 3 sides of the roll against the cutting board to give the roll its shape.
• See the headnotes or watch the video for instruction on cutting a roll.
• For Uramaki, the size of the nori and process is similar, but you need to use a sushi mat that is lined with plastic wrap, or the rice will stick to the mat.
• Place a sheet of nori at the bottom edge of the mat and spread a handful of rice along the nori's top edge. There is no need to leave a border for uramaki, so you will need to use a little more rice than for hosomaki.
• Spread the rice down to the nori's bottom edge in a thin uniform layer, being careful not to smash the rice.
• Sprinkle some black sesame seeds onto the rice.
• Flip the rice over so the nori sheet is facing up, and lay a cucumber strip in the bottom half of the nori.
• Spread a line of spicy tuna from one side to the other.
• Flip the bottom edge of the mat up and over the filling until the rice makes contact with the nori on the other side.
• Pull the edge of the mat away from the rice and press the back of the mat to roll the seam to the bottom.
• Press the top, sides, and bottom of the roll using the mat to give the roll its shape, but do not squeeze it too hard.
• Check the headnotes for instructions on cutting the spicy tuna roll.

SPICY TUNA ROLLS

Steps:

• Combine tuna, chives, sesame oil, soy sauce, vinegar, salt and pepper in a medium bowl. Cover tightly and refrigerate. Mix the mayonnaise and chili paste in a small bowl, cover and refrigerate. Slice the cucumbers lengthwise, as thinly as possible into approximately 5-inch lengths. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Place 1 heaping teaspoon of the tuna tartar on one end of the cucumber slice. Roll up. The cucumber, when very thinly sliced, will stick together and stay rolled without a toothpick. Continue making rolls with the remaining ingredients.
• Top each roll with 1/4 teaspoon dollop of spicy mayonnaise and a sprinkling of sesame seeds.

Steps:

• Place the rice in strainer. Rinse under cold water until water runs clear. Drain well.
• Transfer rice to heavy medium saucepan. Add 1 1/4 cups fresh cold water and kelp to pan. Cover and let soak 30 minutes. Uncover, discard kelp and bring mixture to boil. Reduce heat to low. Cover and cook until water is absorbed and rice is just tender, about 15 minutes. Remove from heat. Let stand covered 15 minutes. Transfer rice to large glass bowl.
• Combine vinegar, sugar and salt in small saucepan. Stir over low heat until sugar dissolves. Drizzle mixture over rice. Gently toss rice with vinegar mixture to coat. Cover rice with clean damp towel and cool completely at room temperature (do not refrigerate).
• Whisk together the mayonnaise, mustard, chipotle, honey and oil; season with salt and pepper.
• Place sushi mat on a work surface with slats running crosswise. Arrange 1 sheet nori, shiny side down, on mat, lining up a long edge of sheet with edge of mat nearest you. Using damp fingers, gently press 1/4 of rice onto nori in 1 layer, leaving a 1 3/4-inch border on side farthest from you. Sprinkle with sesame seeds.
• Flip the nori and rice over so that the nori is now the top layer. Make a thin line of cucumber along the nori 1 to 2 inches from the edge closest to you. Drizzle some of the spicy mayonnaise mixture over the cucumbers, then spoon on the tuna and sprinkle with cilantro and scallions. Roll tightly, using the sushi mat to guide you. Slice about 1/1/2 inches thick. Repeat with remaining ingredients to make a total of 4 rolls.

SPICY TUNA ROLL RECIPE BY TASTY

Steps:

• Season the sushi rice with the rice vinegar, fanning and stirring until room temperature.
• On the rolling mat place one sheet of nori with the rough side facing upwards.
• In a small bowl, combine tuna filling ingredients. Set aside.
• Wet your hands and grab a handful of rice and place it on the nori. Spread the rice evenly throughout the nori without smushing the rice down.
• Arrange, in a horizontal row 1 inch (2.5 cm) from the bottom, a large spoonful of the tuna filling.
• Grabbing both nori and the mat, roll the mat over the filling so the extra space at the bottom touches the other side, squeezing down to make a nice tight roll. Squeeze down along the way to keep the roll from holding its shape.
• Transfer the roll onto a cutting board. Rub a knife on a damp paper towel before slicing the roll into six equal portions.
• Enjoy!
