How to make it
Rice
- Rinse sushi rice under cold water combine with the water in a deep saucepan.

- Cook, covered, 40-45 minutes.
- Remove from heat and let rest (still covered) 15 minutes.
- Turn into a large wooden bowl.
- Whisk together the rice vinegar, sugar and tamari, then sprinkle over the hot rice and toss well. Let cool while preparing the fillings.
Tuna Filling
- Crumble the tuna into a bowl and add lime juice, sesame oil, mayonnaise and wasabi. Mix well to incorporate.
- Add the chip crumbles and fold through well.
Filling and Assembly
- Lay a sushi mat on a flat surface and place a sheet of nori on top, shiny side down.
- Spoon 1/4 of the rice over the nori and spread with your fingers, leaving at least 1" at either end.
- Arrange strips of avocado, cucumber, carrot and pepper along the edge of the rice closest to you.
- Spread a small but even amount of tuna on top of the vegetables.
- Begin rolling up the nori, pressing it with your fingers to create a tight cylinder.
- Moisten the far edge of the nori to seal.
- Repeat process with remaining ingredients.
- with a sharp (I prefer serrated) knife, cut each cylinder into 6 pieces.
- serve with tamari, wasabi and pickled ginger.
