Directions:

1. Cut cucumber in half then scoop out the center with a spoon.

Slice cucumber, red onion and scallion thinly.

2. Let the sliced vegetables soaking in ice water

(if the sliced vegetables are put in cold water, then the freshness can be maintained,

and the characteristics of the vegetables can be more vivid.)

3. Cut tuna into cube size and mix marinate sauce ingredients.

Add tuna into the sauce and marinate it.  

4. Make wasabi mayo sauce by mixing with wasabi paste and Japanese mayo.

You can add mirin for additional sweetness.

Place marinated tuna on the top of the rice.

Place cooking wrap on a flat surface and put the sauce, then wrap it up. Cut the edge.  

7. Top with soaked vegetables and masago, shredded seaweed and sesame seeds! ENJOY!
