Method

  1. Put the rice in a large bowl of cold water. Stir well, then drain and repeat until the water is clear, about 3 times.
  2. Put 110ml of water and the drained rice in a pan and cover with a lid. Bring to the boil, reduce the heat and simmer for 12 minutes until the water is absorbed. Remove from heat and leave covered for 10 more minutes.
  3. Heat the vinegar, sugar and a pinch of salt in a pan, then simmer for 5 minutes. Coat the tuna steak in the black pepper and sear in a non-stick pan for 30 seconds per side. Cool.
  4. Spread the rice on a large plate or plastic tray. Drizzle the vinegar mixture over and gently mix using a spatula. Add the shredded nori (if using) and mix again. Spoon the rice onto 2 plates.
  5. Slice the tuna and add to each serving. Add the avocado and onion and sprinkle with sesame seeds. Serve with little bowls of soy sauce on the side.

    Tasty mid-week fix for sushi addicts. I used Mizkan sushi seasoning instead of the vinegar mixture which was even easier. The nori strips were perfect in the rice. I also had a little wasabi with my soy. If you are only preparing the one dish then I would recommend one steak per person and a little extra rice.

    Brilliant dish... I served this when we had friends over! Doubled the rice and served with a selection of sushi fillings so people could pick and choose their favourites. It was something different and saved all the time of rolling. There was enough that I could rake leftovers to work the following day.
