Ingredients Equipment Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 10.5 oz canned tuna drained
  • 1/3 cup green onion
  • 2/3 cup each: cucumber red bell pepper, celery
  • 1 tbsp soy sauce
  • 2 tsp rice vinegar
  • 1 tsp sesame oil
  • 1/4 cup light mayo
  • 2 tbsp sriracha
  • 4-6 nori sheets
  • 2 tbsp toasted sesame seeds

Equipment

  • Mixing bowl
  • Chef's Knife
  • Kitchen Scissors

Method
 

  1. Finely dice all vegetables.
  2. Mix drained tuna with all liquid ingredients and spices.
  3. Stir in the diced vegetables until combined.
  4. Cut nori into quarters.
  5. Spoon mixture onto nori squares just before serving.
  6. Garnish with extra sriracha and sesame seeds.

Notes

1. Dice vegetables very finely to ensure they blend well with the tuna and stay atop the nori. 2. Only assemble right before serving; nori loses its crispness within minutes of touching the tuna mixture. 3. Use light mayo and light soy sauce to keep the calorie count low while maintaining maximum flavor.
