Preparation
1.
Tuna Tartare Hand Rolls preparation step 1

Place sushi rice in a sieve and rinse with cold water until the water runs clear. Drain in a sieve for about 20 minutes. Place rice and approximately 1 cup water in a pot and bring to a boil.

2.

Cook uncovered for 2 minutes, then cover and cook until rice is tender and liquid is almost completely absorbed, about 20 minutes. Remove the pot from the heat. Remove lid and cover with a kitchen towel. Let stand for 10 minutes.

In a small pot, combine rice vinegar, mirin, sugar and 1 teaspoon salt. Bring to a simmer, stirring until the sugar and salt have dissolved. Place the rice in a bowl and fluff with a fork so that it cools faster. Pour the vinegar mixture on the rice and let cool completely, about 30 minutes.

Halve avocado lengthwise, remove pit, slice the flesh with a knife and scoop flesh out of the skin. (Alternately, you can peel the avocado before slicing.) Sprinkle avocado with some of the remaining lime juice. Rinse cilantro and shake dry.

With moistened hands, shape the rice into 6 small balls (about the size of ping-pong balls). Holding a half sheet of nori on your palm, place a rice ball in the center of the sheet and brush with a little wasabi paste.

Tuna is a good source of iodine for a well-functioning thyroid gland and lots of omega-3 fatty acids for the heart and blood vessels; avocado is also great with its high content of unsaturated fatty acids.

When shopping, make sure that the fish is absolutely fresh, it should have the sushi-grade quality. Instead of tuna fish you can also use salmon fillet for the tartar.
