No-Fuss Sushi

 

This meal is based on a couple of cans of tuna plus rice, edamame, avocado and cucumber, and is ready in a jiffy. Easy. If there are only two of you, either halve the recipe or save the leftovers for another meal.

  • 200 g tinned tuna, drained
  • 1 avocado, diced
  • 8 nori chips or 1 nori sheet, cut into 8 pieces

  • 1 tablespoon salt-reduced soy sauce
  • 2 cups cooked brown rice
  • 1 tablespoon sesame seeds, black or white
  • OPTIONAL
  • Wasabi
  • Pickled Ginger
