Directions
- 1
In a medium bowl, combine the finely diced sushi-grade tuna, mayonnaise, Sriracha sauce, soy sauce, toasted sesame oil, and rice vinegar.
- 2
Gently fold in half of the thinly sliced scallions and the kosher salt until everything is evenly coated and the tuna is well combined with the spicy sauce.
- 3
Lay one half-sheet of nori seaweed on a clean, dry surface with the longer side horizontal.
- 4
Moisten your hands lightly with water to prevent the rice from sticking, then take about 1/4 cup of the cooled sushi rice and gently spread it across the lower two-thirds of the nori sheet, leaving the top edge clear.
- 5
Spoon approximately 2-3 tablespoons of the spicy tuna mixture in a horizontal line across the center of the rice-covered nori.
- 6
Carefully roll the nori into a cone shape, starting from one bottom corner and rolling upwards and diagonally, ensuring a tight seal at the end.
- 7
Repeat the process with the remaining nori sheets, sushi rice, and spicy tuna mixture to create 8 handrolls.

Arrange the finished handrolls artfully on a platter, garnish with the remaining sliced scallions and a sprinkle of toasted sesame seeds, serving immediately for optimal freshness and texture.
