Instructions
1
Thoroughly rinse the rice under running water until the water runs clear. Cook it in 250 ml of water in a covered pot for about 15 minutes, then let it rest for another 10 minutes.
2
Transfer the cooked rice to a bowl, drizzle it with rice vinegar and salt, and gently mix with a wooden spoon. Let it cool completely to room temperature.
3
Drain the tuna in its own juice well and mix it in a small bowl with lemon juice. Cut the cucumber, carrot, and avocado into long, thin strips.
4
Place a sheet of nori seaweed on a bamboo mat (shiny side down). With wet hands, spread half of the rice evenly over the seaweed, leaving a 2 cm empty border at the top edge.
5
Lay half of the tuna, cucumber, carrot, and avocado horizontally on the bottom third of the rice.
6
Using the mat, tightly roll the sushi into a roll. Lightly moisten the empty edge of the seaweed with water to seal the roll. Repeat the process with the second sheet of seaweed.
7
Using a sharp, damp knife, cut the roll into 6–8 even pieces.
