Instructions

Step 1: Prepare sushi rice: Cook 2 cups sushi rice according to package directions, then mix with rice vinegar and sugar while warm. Cool to room temperature.
Step 2: Cut tuna into 1/2-inch cubes, slice avocado into 1/4-inch thick pieces, and julienne cucumber into thin matchsticks. Place a nori sheet on a bamboo mat, spread 1/4 cup cooled sushi rice evenly, then arrange tuna, avocado, and cucumber horizontally in the center.
Step 3: Roll tightly using the mat, pressing gently to form a compact cylinder. Slice each roll into 4 equal pieces and arrange vertically on a plate to form a tower, sprinkling with sesame seeds and serving with wasabi and soy sauce on the side.
