Everything you like about a spicy tuna roll on a crisp cucumber round: canned tuna mixed with sriracha mayo, soy and sesame, topped with scallions and toasted seeds. Ten minutes, no rice, no rolling.
Ingredients
Spicy tuna
- 2 cans (5 oz each), drained canned tuna
- 1 1/2 tbsp light mayonnaise
- 2 tbsp nonfat Greek yogurt
- 2 tsp sriracha hot sauce, more to taste
- 1 tsp reduced sodium soy sauce
- 1 tsp rice vinegar
- 1/2 tsp sesame oil
- 1 large or 2 small cucumber, in 1 cm (1/2-inch) rounds
To finish
- 2 green onions, thinly sliced
- 2 tsp toasted sesame seeds
Steps
- Flake the tuna into a bowl and mix in the mayonnaise, yogurt, sriracha, soy sauce, vinegar and sesame oil until creamy. Taste and add more sriracha if you like it hotter.
- Lay the cucumber rounds out and pat the tops dry with a paper towel so the tuna sits on them.
- Spoon a little tuna onto each round and finish with scallions and sesame seeds.
Good to know
Making them ahead?
Keep the tuna mix covered in the fridge for up to 2 days and slice the cucumber when you want them; assembled bites go watery within an hour.
Kewpie mayo?
It is the sushi-bar flavour. Use 1 1/2 tbsp in place of the light mayo; it is richer, at about 75 instead of 84.
