Fun with Jane & Dick

My kids love sushi. They’ll eat the raw pieces of fish too. But, we don’t do raw at home.

Many years ago, one of my friends introduced me to Roasted Seasoned Seaweed. This stuff is DA BOMB! You can eat it plain or with rice…or with my homemade recipe for sushi at home.

It’s easy, it’s fast, and it’s DELISH. It also requires no cooking if you already have steamed rice.

My kids LOVE LOVE LOVE these tunafish rolls.

INGREDIENTS

Here’s what you’ll need:

Steamed Rice (Jasmine or Japanese Sushi Rice)

Canned Tuna Fish

(I used 3 of the large cans here.)

Thinly Sliced Green Onions

Thinly Sliced Cucumbers

Roasted Seasoned Seaweed and Japanese Mayonaise

(The mayo is SOOOOOO good. I use it for sandwiches.)

Pickled Ginger (Optional. I love it!!)

Salt/Pepper/Garlic Salt or Powder

TUNA PASTE

This tuna filling is very tastey and you can substitute it with any kind of fish you like. I buy tuna because it’s EASY and my kids love it.

STEP 1:

Drain your canned fish…even pressing to really get all that moisture out. Runny is not good.

Add mayonnaise to it. Here, you can see my assistant squeezing the heck out of that mayonnaise bottle.

I’m not sure about the amount but I put enough to make it gooey. How’s that for cooking directions. A gooey, pasty consistency. I squeeze a bunch in there. Of course, this also depends on how much tuna you use.

I know, I didn’t tell you how much tunafish to use or give you an amount for the mayo but at some point in your life you’ll have to try to figure things out with minimal directions. This is a good time to start. You can do it! I have faith in you!!

STEP 2: ADD SPICES

Add Salt (or if you have Garlic Salt use that. Then there will be no need for the garlic powder.)

Add Pepper.

Add Garlic Powder if you didn’t use Garlic Salt.

Add Green Onions.

STEP 3: Mix it all up!

Any leftovers (we don’t ever have this happen but in case you do) could easily be used for a tunafish salad or sandwich. Just add some sliced celery, walnuts, capers, chopped red onions and you will have a gourmet delish tuna salad or sandwich ready to be eaten.

STEP 4: THE SEAWEED

The seaweed comes in sheets…like paper.

I cut that up lengthwise in half and then, I cut it the other way 4 times making 10 pieces.

STEP 5: PUT IT TOGETHER

Take a piece of seaweed, add a dab of rice.

Then add a bit of the tuna paste.

Also add some of the sliced cucumber.

Roll it up and Enjoy!
