(playful music) - Hi YouTube fans. - Hey, everyone. - It's April and Justin. Thank you so much for
tuning into Cook With April. Today we are gonna show you
how to make spicy tuna rolls. - MmmMmm - Justin took me to a,
like a sushi class, right? It was the Sushi Institute of LA. - Mmhmm - And we learned how to
make spicy tuna rolls. So this recipe, the credit goes to the Sushi Institute of LA. (laughs) So stay tuned and learn how to make it. I'm not a pro roller, but it's
all about the taste, right? So stay tuned. Let's get started. We hafta, hafta use sashimi grade tuna. It's very important because of
the freshness and the flavor. And you're going to slice
your sashimi grade tuna into the smallest pieces you
could possibly slice it into. You can even use your hands, because the tuna is really tender. And then you're gonna place
that tuna in a large bowl. Next, you're gonna
slice some green onions. Then you're going to add some mayonnaise. I have the complete ingredient
list and measurements in the information box,
if you're interested. So, I'm gonna mix the tuna
and the mayonnaise together with a spatula. Then I'm gonna add some
chili powder mixture. Then I'm adding some chili oil, because it is spicy tuna. (laughs) So, it's gotta be spicy. Then I added some sriracha
for another kick of spiciness, and I'm mixing all those ingredients together with a spatula. Then I'm adding some
of those green onions, and I'm mixing again, with my spatula. And you're going to cover
that with a saran wrap, and let that marinate, or sit, in the refrigerator overnight, or for at least an hour. Next, you are going to work on your rice. You must use short-grain rice or any rice that's labeled sushi rice. And remember to wash and rinse
your rice about four times. And cook your rice on
the white rice setting. Now you're gonna work on
the flavoring for the rice. You're going to add some rice vinegar. Then, you're also going to add some sugar. And you're going to mix the rice vinegar and the sugar together until
it completely dissolves. Then you're going to add some salt. Again, you're going to
mix those ingredients until it dissolves. Once the rice is cooked, and not too hot, you're going to add the rice flavoring, which is the rice
vinegar, sugar, and salt. And you're gonna mix those together. Now you're ready to work on your sushi! Grab your nori, and place
the shiny side onto the mat, where the bumpy side is facing you. Then you're gonna add your rice. And use your fingers
to press the rice down. And add more rice if it doesn't
cover up the nori sheet. And then you're going to
add some sesame seeds. Just sprinkle it lightly, or add more if you like. You're gonna flip it over
and make sure you cover your sushi mat with a saran wrap, because it'll keep your mat clean. So, you're gonna place the
spicy tuna mixture inside, and then you're gonna
roll with your hands. And a tip that I have for you is if your hands get too sticky like mine, rinse your hands with some water, and it won't be as sticky. So, you're just gonna roll it, make a caterpillar shape if you want. (laughs) I call it a caterpillar shape. So, I'm just gonna press down and I'm using the mat to
make it a perfect shape. And it's ready to be cut! You're gonna just cut your sushi into about eight pieces or so. And if it's too hard to cut, I like rinsing my knife with water. That's what I learned at the Institute. So your sushi's ready! You have wasabi and ginger, and you are ready to enjoy. Okay, so the sushi is set up, it's on a nice plate, the sushi's there, the ginger's there, wasabi, soy sauce, and the chopsticks. - Does this mean I get to try it? - Yes. (laughs) - This looks so good. Wow. - And as you can see I have,
like, a lot more ginger and Justin has like a little bit. I could just, like, eat ginger. Oh, the eyes are closed. - Oh, that is delicious. - It's yummy? - It's so good, yeah. - Yay. - You did a great job. You know, traditionally,
you're supposed to eat sushi in one bite, like a roll. And that was kind of challenging, because you made 'em pretty big. - Yeah, I did. I like, myself, the rice, so
I was like ohh a lot of rice. - It is so good. - Very tasty.
- [April] It's good? - Yeah, and I love the spice. You've made it, actually, a little spicier than most spicy tuna rolls
I've had, which I like. - Oh yeah, I did the chili powder, and then I did the chili oil, and then I was like, you know what? Hubby loves sriracha, so
I'm like (exhales loudly). - Oh, man, that is so good. Thank you, honey. - Yay, thank you. - Wow, you should try some. - I'm gonna try it later,
because I look funny when I eat sushi, because
it doesn't fit in my mouth. So, it like, falls. - You always look graceful. (April laughs) - So thank you, friends,
so much for watching. Stay tuned for the next
episode of Tasty Tuesday, and I hope you like this recipe. Have a beautiful day. - [Justin] Bye guys.
- [April] Bye. (playful music)
