Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 2 cups sushi rice cooked and cooled
  • 4 sheets nori seaweed
  • ½ lb sushi-grade tuna or salmon sliced into thin strips
  • ½ avocado sliced thinly
  • 2 tablespoons mayonnaise for spicy mayo
  • 1 tablespoon Sriracha sauce for spicy mayo
  • 1 teaspoon soy sauce optional
  • 1 tablespoon sesame oil
  • ¼ teaspoon toasted sesame seeds for garnish
  • 1 tablespoon vegetable oil for frying
  • 1 small cucumber julienned, optional

Method
 

  1. Set Up Your Rolling Station: Place a bamboo sushi mat (or clean kitchen towel) on a flat surface, and lay a sheet of nori, shiny side down, on top of it. Have a bowl of water nearby to wet your hands.
  2. Spread the Rice: Wet your hands with water to prevent sticking, and spread about 1/2 cup of cooled sushi rice evenly over the nori, leaving about 1-inch space at the top.
  3. Add the Fish and Avocado: Place a few slices of your prepared fish, avocado, and any optional ingredients (like cucumber) along the center of the rice.
  4. Add the Spicy Mayo: Drizzle a small amount of the spicy mayo over the fish and avocado for that kick of heat and creaminess.
  5. Start Rolling: Carefully lift the edge of the nori closest to you, and gently roll it away from you, keeping the filling in place. Use the bamboo mat or towel to help keep everything tight and even as you roll.
  6. Seal the Roll: Once you’ve reached the bare edge of the nori, wet it with a little water to help seal the roll closed.
  7. Fry the Roll (Optional): Heat vegetable oil in a frying pan over medium heat. Once hot, place the rolled sushi in the pan seam-side down and fry for 2-3 minutes until the outside is golden brown and crispy. This adds a delicious texture to the roll, but you can skip this step for a traditional version.
  8. Slice the Roll: Use a sharp knife to slice the roll into 6-8 pieces. Be sure to wet the knife between cuts to prevent the rice from sticking.
  9. Garnish: Drizzle extra spicy mayo over the top of the sushi rolls, and sprinkle with toasted sesame seeds for added crunch.
  10. Serve: Arrange the slices on a plate, and serve immediately.
  11. Optional: Serve with soy sauce, pickled ginger, or wasabi for additional flavor.
  12. Enjoy: Dig in and savor the spicy dynamite roll.

Notes

  • Alternative Proteins: If you prefer cooked sushi, use shrimp tempura or cooked crab instead of raw fish. You can also use a vegetarian option by substituting avocado and cucumber for the fish.
  • Rolling Technique: If you don’t have a sushi mat, you can use a clean kitchen towel. Lay the towel flat, place the nori on top, and roll tightly using the towel to help shape the sushi.
  • Make-Ahead: You can prepare the spicy mayo in advance and store it in the fridge for up to a week. Similarly, the sushi rice can be made ahead of time, just make sure to let it cool before using.
  • Spicy Mayo Adjustments: For a creamier mayo, add a little bit of honey or sugar to balance the heat. You can also experiment with other hot sauces to find your perfect level of spice.
