Ingredients
Scale
Spring Rolls
- 4–6 spring roll wrappers
- 2 cans of tuna packed in water
- 2.5 tbsp Japanese mayo
- 1.5 tbsp sriracha
- 1/4 cup green onion, chopped
- 1/2 tsp toasted sesame oil
- Cucumber slices (about 1/2 cucumber, thinly sliced)
- Avocado slices (1 ripe avocado, sliced)
- Toasted sesame seeds (for topping)
- Mini nori squares (4-6 small sheets)
Dipping Sauce
- 1 tbsp salsa macha or chili crisp
- 3 tbsp tamari or soy sauce
- 1/2 lemon (juiced)
- 2 tsp rice vinegar
- 1 tsp agave syrup
Instructions
- Prepare Tuna Mixture: In a medium bowl, combine the drained tuna, chopped green onion, Japanese mayo, sriracha, and toasted sesame oil. Mash everything well together until evenly mixed and slightly creamy.
- Make Dipping Sauce: In a separate small bowl, whisk together the tamari, salsa macha (or chili crisp), agave syrup, fresh lemon juice, and rice vinegar. Set aside for serving.
- Soak Wrappers: Dip each spring roll wrapper into cold water for 15-20 seconds until pliable but not too soft. Remove and lay flat on a clean surface.
- Assemble Spring Rolls: Place a mini nori square near the edge of the wrapper. Spoon about 3 tablespoons of the tuna mixture over the nori. Top with cucumber slices and a slice of avocado. Starting from the edge closest to you, carefully roll the wrapper over the filling. Then fold in the sides tightly and continue rolling until fully enclosed. Press the seam to seal the roll.
- Garnish and Serve: Sprinkle toasted sesame seeds on top of the rolls. Serve the spring rolls immediately with the prepared dipping sauce on the side.
Notes
- Use cold water to soak the spring roll wrappers to prevent them from becoming too soft or tearing.
- Adjust the amount of sriracha to control the spiciness of the tuna mixture according to your preference.
- For a gluten-free option, ensure to use tamari instead of soy sauce and check that the spring roll wrappers are gluten-free.
- Use fresh avocado to get creamy texture but avoid overripe ones that may become mushy.
- This recipe is best eaten fresh but you can prepare the tuna mixture and dipping sauce ahead of time for convenience.
