Instructions
-
Combine finely chopped onion, canned tuna, mayonnaise, and salt to create the tuna salad; optionally, add Japanese hot mustard for a spicy version.

Cover a bamboo mat with plastic wrap, then place a nori sheet on top.
-
Spread 1/4 portion of sushi rice evenly over the nori, followed by a horizontal line of tuna salad in the center.
-
Firmly roll the bamboo mat to shape the sushi into a cylinder, then remove the mat and repeat for any remaining rolls.
-
Wet a knife, then slice each sushi roll into bite-sized pieces.
-
Serve with soy sauce, garnishing with gari shoga and sesame seeds if desired.
