Ingredients

2 sheets nori
1/2 cup sushi rice, cooked and sprinkled with rice-wine vinegar
1 teaspoon wasabi paste
1/2 pound sashimi-grade ahi tuna, cut into 1/4-inch pieces
2 tablespoons finely chopped, peeled, seeded cucumber
2 tablespoons finely chopped scallion
1 tablespoon grated fresh ginger
1 teaspoon mirin
2 drops toasted sesame oil

Steps:

Lightly toast the nori sheets over a gas flame or under the broiler for a few seconds. Lay 1 sheet on a work surface. Spread evenly with half of the rice. Spread half of the wasabi down the center of the rice. Tightly roll up the nori and cut across into 1/2-inch thick rounds. Set aside.
Mix together all of the tuna ingredients and mound on top of the nori rounds. Serve immediately.
