Heart Healthy Spicy Tuna Sushi Rolls

Spicy tuna is a common name for different rolls of sushi with two things in common: the use of tuna, and a spicy sauce. The tuna this roll is diced into small pieces, so the size of the initial block doesn’t matter. So it’s a great solution for odd shape blocks of tuna you might end up having that won’t fit any other roll.

Let’s start with the sauce

What gives the spicy tuna roll its kick is the spicy mayo sauce. You wouldn’t believe how easy that is to make! The following instructions are for making enough sauce to use in 4 ST rolls. My recommendation is to prepare double that amount and serving the remainder as dipping sauce.

Ingredients:

• 1 tbsp mayonnaise of your choice (opt for heart healthy)
• 1 tsp spicy chili sauce (recommended Sriracha)
• 1 tsp fresh lemon juice
• 1/2 tsp sesame oil (Kadoya’s).
• Ahi Tuna sushi grade (Some people substitute spicy tuna in a can)

Instructions

1. Mix ingredients for Spicy Sauce

2. Slice tuna into cubes

3. Mix tuna cubes with Spicy Sauce

4. Cover nori sheet with sushi rice, and lay about 2 tbs of Spicy Tuna along the center

5. Add avocado slices and roll

6. Cut 6 or 8 pieces and serve with soy sauce, wasabi and gari
