Ingredients (serves 6)
2 cups sushi rice (see note), rinsed
1/4 cup sushi seasoning
2 tablespoons sesame seeds, toasted
4 eggs, at room temperature (see note)
1 small Lebanese cucumber, finely diced
1 small carrot, peeled, finely diced
3 green onions, thinly sliced
185g can tuna in springwater, drained, flaked
2 sheets nori (see note)
Method
Combine rice and 3 cups cold water in a saucepan over high heat. Bring to the boil. Reduce heat to low. Cover and cook for 12 minutes or until water is absorbed. Remove from heat. Stand, covered, for 10 minutes (do not lift lid). Transfer to a large bowl and set aside for 30 minutes to cool completely.
Sprinkle cooled rice with sushi seasoning. Using a rice paddle or plastic spatula, fold seasoning evenly through rice. Season with salt. Stir in sesame seeds.
Place eggs in a saucepan and cover with cold water. Place over medium-high heat and cover with lid. Bring to the boil. Remove lid. Cook for 7 minutes. Drain and allow cold water to run over eggs. Peel eggs and cut into quarters.
Add cucumber, carrot, green onions and tuna to rice mixture. Toss to combine. Top with eggs. Using kitchen scissors, cut nori in half. Shred into fine strips. Sprinkle salad with nori and serve.
Notes
Sushi rice is available from the rice section of your supermarket.
Allow eggs to come to room temperature before boiling. Eggs boiled directly from the fridge are more likely to crack while cooking.
Nori are thin sheets of dried seaweed traditionally used to wrap sushi rice. They're available toasted and plain and can be found in Asian grocery stores or the Asian section of large supermarkets.
