Ingredients
- 1 large cucumber
- 1/4 c. mayo or cream cheese
- 1 T. Siracha (or other hot sauce!)
- 1/4 c. sushi rice, cooked and chilled
- 5 oz can tuna
- 1 medium jalapeno, thinly sliced
- 1/2 medium ripe avocado, sliced
- 4 radishes, sliced into matchsticks
- 2 T. pickled ginger
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- sesame seeds for garnish
- soy sauce for serving
Preparation
- Chop cucumber crosswise into two equal-sized pieces. Use a peeler or knife to cut cucumber into thin lengthwise pieces. Cucumber pieces should be thin enough to roll, but not tear. Lay cucumber slices on a cutting board to assemble.
- In a small bowl, mix mayonnaise/cream cheese and Sriracha. Spread a thin layer of Sriracha mayo on each cucumber slice. About 1 inch from the end of each cucumber slice, place a small scoop of rice and tuna, then layer with a few slices of jalapeno, a slice of avocado, a few radish matchsticks and a piece of pickled ginger. Season each with a dash of salt and pepper. Roll each, tucking the filling ingredients tightly in. Secure with a toothpick until ready to eat.
- Garnish with sesame seeds and serve with soy sauce.
Notes
- *Note: If you tire of rolling or have leftover ingredients, layer the rice and veggies in a bowl and top with Sriracha mayo.
