Make Your Own Home Made Sushi

Today, I am going to teach you how to make your favorite healthy sushi roll at home.

First, you need chopped raw tuna steak, shrimp, or salmon and mix them with a spicy low calorie sauce (I use a combination of two tablespoons of sriracha and a teaspoon of wasabi) in a large dish.

Next, take your already cooked Japanese short grain rice (the stickiest kind of rice) and spread it evenly on the non-shiny side of the nori (edible seaweed). You can either eat the sushi roll with rice on the inside or rice on the outside; totally your call.

Then, take the tuna, shrimp, or salmon and place it in a small line, along with any extras, like Japanese cucumbers, scallions, sesame seeds or avocado. Lastly, use a sushi mat, found at most grocery stores, to quickly roll the roll into a nice round circle. Use a sharp knife to evenly cut the roll into pieces. Then top each piece with a bit more of the spicy tuna, shrimp, or salmon to finish off the delicious dish. Yummy!!
