The family wanted rolls, so we made rolls. I achieved my main goal, to make it unusual and tasty, masterfully and all thanks to this recipe.
General information
Tuna is a leader in protein content , which is why professional athletes and athletes often include it in their diet.
And it doesn’t matter whether the tuna is fresh or canned - it is equally healthy and equally rich in nutrients. Of course, well-cooked fresh fish cannot be compared with canned fish. But if we are talking about choosing canned tuna, it is best to give preference to fish in its own juice rather than in oil - such “oily” fish contains a large amount of fat, and this fat is not very healthy (unlike omega-3 fatty acids).
Tuna fishing is kept under strict government control, as the fish population is under threat due to the high demand for canned tuna.
Did you know that tuna can compete in speed with a modern submarine - which is about 75 km/h? As a result of such a huge muscle load, tuna produces a substance called myoglobin, which colors the meat dark pink or red. For this reason, tuna is often called the “rose of the seas.”
Compared to other types of fish, tuna is distinguished by its high amount of protein (quantitative expression - 24 g of protein per 100 g of fish) with a high percentage of digestibility (95%). Athletes include fish in their diet - the amino acids it contains have a beneficial effect on strength and muscle growth.
Tuna not only contains a high percentage of protein, but is also a low-calorie product (about 120 kcal per 100 g of fish). In addition, fish contains omega-3 acids, which have a beneficial effect on the cardiovascular system and reduce the likelihood of blood clots.
contained in fish will provide almost 80% of the daily requirement , and vitamin B6 – about 30% of the daily requirement. In addition, tuna is rich in vitamins A, E and D, which satisfies the need for niacin, and also contains useful minerals - phosphorus, iron, magnesium, selenium, calcium and others.
Selenium is the most important of them for the body, since this element is involved in the process of cleaning the liver from toxins and harmful substances, since the liver is a kind of chemical “factory” that works between the circulatory and digestive systems, and a failure in the operation of this “factory” is fraught with consequences for the body. operation of these systems.
Tuna produces special antibodies that help reduce allergic reactions in the human body, and in general has a positive effect on the process of strengthening the immune system.
There is only one “but”: it is best to try not to eat the meat of large individuals - it may contain a decent amount of mercury.

Tuna rolls: recipe + photo tutorial “How to roll rolls”
Step 1
For tuna rolls for this recipe, you need to boil the sushi rice as directed on the package. If you have regular rice, soak it in cold water for about 10 minutes. Then rinse well. Time 5. Pour water in a ratio of 1 to 1. Cover with a lid and cook until tender (about 20 minutes).
Step 2
Transfer the rice to a saucer and leave to cool slightly.
Step 3
Drain the oil from the canned food.
Step 4
Remove the pulp and seeds from the cucumber. After that, cut the cucumber into thin long strips.
Step 5
Cut the nori sheets in half so that you get two rectangular sheets from one sheet.
Step 6
Place the resulting half on the mat as shown in the photo.
Step 7
Roll the roll with the nori sheet facing outwards. Measure out 80 g of rice and distribute it over the sheet so that approximately 1 cm from the edge remains without rice (this makes it easier to close the rolls). It is better to spread the rice with your hands slightly moistened with water. The rice should be lukewarm and slightly moist.
Step 8
In the middle, along the entire length of the sheet, lay out the filling (tuna, cheese and cucumber strips).
Step 9
Raise the edge of the mat that is on your side. Place over filling and press lightly. These parts of the roll will stick together.
Step 10
Raise the mat. Fold the edge over so it doesn't get in the way. Carefully take the entire “sausage” with your fingers and twist it in the direction “away from you”. The rice will completely cover the filling.
Step 11
After this, again lift the mat a little and roll it up. Then, using your fingers, carefully twist the entire “sausage” in the direction “away from you” again. The roll will close.

Step 12
Cover it with a mat and roll it a little so that it is completely closed and does not fall apart. If the sheets are a little dry or you can’t close the roll, you can slightly moisten the edge without rice with water.
Step 13
The result is a smooth and round “sausage”.
Step 14
Remove it from the mat to a flat surface. To cut in half. The knife must be sharp, otherwise you will simply crush the roll.
Step 15
Cut each half in half again.
Step 16
Each quarter is also halved. We got 8 neat and beautiful canned tuna rolls.
Step 17
We wrap the roll with a sheet of nori inside. Measure out 80 g of rice and distribute it over the entire surface of the sheet. It is better to spread the rice with your hands slightly moistened with water. The rice should be lukewarm and slightly moist.
Step 18
Press the rice lightly with your palm. Carefully turn the sheet over.
Step 19
In the middle, along the entire length of the sheet, place tuna, cheese and cucumber strips.
Step 20
We repeat the same simple steps as described earlier. So, photo step 9. Cover for repair
Step 21
Photo step 10. Turn it in the direction “away from you” - the filling is no longer visible.
Step 22
Photo step 11. Spin it again - the roll is “closed”.
Step 23
Photo step 12. Cover with a mat and roll it into a “sausage”. As a result, we get a round “sausage” with the rice facing up. Cut into 8 pieces, also as described above. Serve with ginger, wasabi and soy sauce.

Tuna sushi recipe. Cut the tuna fillet, place it on a piece formed from prepared rice, and serve with soy sauce. Very simple, but very tasty!
Let's start preparing tuna sushi by preparing the rice. In order not to overload recipes for making sushi or rolls with the same photographs and descriptions, I have formatted this entire very important process as a separate recipe.
Benefits and harms
The nutritional value of this dish deserves special attention. The tuna roll can be called dietary, since 100 g of the product contains only 131.9 kcal. At the same time, thanks to fish, it is rich in proteins, microelements, vitamins and fatty acids beneficial to humans.
Rice, being a source of carbohydrates, is considered a rather difficult food to digest. Therefore, such a dish should not be eaten at night, so as not to create unnecessary problems for your body. But the main danger lies elsewhere.
This type of roll is filled with fresh tuna meat. As you know, classic sushi does not undergo heat treatment. Therefore, raw fish in such a dish is considered the most dangerous component. It is a source of possible infection by parasites (roundworms and tapeworms). And the pollution of ocean waters, which is growing every year, makes this danger more serious.
In addition, do not forget about nori seaweed, which contains an increased amount of iodine. This may have a negative impact on your health. This is why doctors do not recommend eating sushi and rolls more than once a month.
Rice for sushi

I described a full description of preparing sushi rice with step-by-step photographs here: sushi rice, so if anyone doesn’t know how to cook it, follow the link and take a look. Well, here I will write how to cook sushi with tuna.
Description of preparation:
Having tried many roll recipes, I finally found the best one, which describes the correct preparation as accurately as possible.
A little about the details of this dish: an integral part in preparing rolls is the presence of a sushi mat (bamboo mat), so do not forget to buy one if you do not have one. Otherwise, you simply won't be able to form a roll. You can replace tuna with any red fish of your choice. Vinegar water is needed to prevent the rice from sticking to your hands while cooking.
