Description
A delicious and easy-to-make sushi burrito featuring fresh ahi tuna and a zesty yuzu cream.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups sushi rice
- 2 1/2 cups water
- 1/4 cup rice vinegar
- 2 tablespoons sugar
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 8 ounces ahi tuna, cubed
- 1 ripe avocado, cut into slices
- 1 cup cucumber, cut into thin strips
- 1 cup carrots, cut into thin strips
- 4 sheets nori (seaweed)
- 1/4 cup mayonnaise
- 1 tablespoon yuzu juice
- 1 teaspoon sesame oil
- 1 teaspoon soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon sesame seeds
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Rinse the sushi rice under cold water until the water appears clear.
- Combine the rice and water in a rice cooker or pot and cook according to the instructions, or bring to a boil, then reduce heat, cover, and simmer for about 20 minutes.
- Remove from heat and let it rest, covered, for an additional 10 minutes.
- In a small saucepan, mix the rice vinegar, sugar, and salt. Warm over low heat until the sugar is fully dissolved.
- After the rice has cooled, transfer it to a large mixing bowl and gently incorporate the vinegar mixture, allowing it to cool completely.
- In another bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise, yuzu juice, sesame oil, and soy sauce. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
- Take a sheet of nori and place it on a clean surface or bamboo mat, shiny side facing down.
- With damp hands, spread approximately 1 cup of sushi rice evenly across the nori, leaving a 1-inch gap at the top.
- In the center of the rice, arrange the cubed ahi tuna, avocado slices, cucumber strips, and carrot strips. Drizzle the citrus cream over the top.
- Carefully roll the nori away from you, tucking in the filling as you go, until you reach the exposed edge. Moisten the edge of the nori with a bit of water to seal the wrap.
- Repeat the rolling process with the remaining ingredients to create three additional sushi wraps.
- Slice each wrap diagonally in half and sprinkle sesame seeds on top before serving.
Notes
- Make sure to use fresh ahi tuna for the best flavor.
- Adjust the amount of yuzu juice according to your taste preference.
- These sushi burritos can be customized with other vegetables or proteins.
