Ingredients
the fish: choose one or use both!
- sashimi-grade tuna
- sashimi grade salmon or nova-style raw smoked salmon
the veggies:
- ½ a standard or english cucumber (peeled)
- 1/4-1/2 a small jalapeno
- 2-4 stalks of green onion
- a few slices of avocado
the toppings:
- chopped green onion
- toasted sesame or chia seeds
extras:
- ½ oz cream cheese (to add to the sushi rolls)
- Sriracha (for dipping)
- soy sauce or ponzu sauce (for dunking)
Instructions
- Get your roll on!
- Slice the avocado, green onion, and jalapeno into strips, removing the veins and seeds from the jalapeno. Craving heat? Leave them in for a super spicy roll. If you're terrified of spice, grab a green bell pepper or a few stalks of blanched asparagus instead!
- Next slice your fish into strips and, if you're using cream cheese, simply roll a chilled piece into a log with your fingers and set aside with your vegetables.
- To slice the cucumber into wrap form, check out the video above. It's a bit difficult to explain in text but the video will give you the perfect visual of the technique. I slice mine a little on the thicker side to make things easier.
- Next unroll the cucumber and layer your fish and/or veggies inside as if you were making a standard roll. [see photo below]
- Simply line everything up at one end of your cucumber wrapper and roll it up!
- To form into discs, grab a sharp chef's knife and hold the roll taught as you slice. Inserting a few toothpicks into the roll before can help keep the roll together as you're cutting, but it can absolutely be done without them -- up to you!
- All that's left to do is arrange them on plate, top with a sprinkling of sesame seeds, chia seeds, and chopped green onion.
- Now drizzle with your favorite sauce and dig in!
