-Mix all ingredients for Tobanjan Mayo together until combined.
-In a large bowl, combine chopped tuna with 4 fl. oz. of Tobanjan mayo until fish is fully coated. Be sure to measure!
Prepare Sushi Rice
-Add cooked rice to shallow bowl, gently using rice paddle to break up any large clumps and loosely spreading rice across the bowl's surface.
-Working in a circular motion over the rice, and holding rice paddle parallel to rice surface, slowly pour Sushi-su over the paddle so that it sprinkles down over the cooked rice.
-While still holding rice paddle sideways, fluff rice to distribute Sushi-su.
Build the Hand Roll
-Prepare a small bowl of warm water.
-Hold a piece of seaweed in the palm of your non-dominant hand, with the long edge facing you.
-With your other hand, dip your fingers in the bowl of water, and grab a small handful of rice. Spread it evenly out onto of the nori, leaving the last of the short edge plain.
-Grab a spoonful of the tuna mix and place it halfway on the nori, in a line that runs parallel to the short end. Garnish with green onion.
-Tightly roll the nori short edge to short edge - rolling towards the end that is plain.
Enjoy!
