<\/a><\/p>\nI know you want to try this recipe and culinary grade organic green tea powder<\/a> by\u00a0Kiss Me Organics<\/a>. Green tea powder from Japan is said to be among the best you can buy and this one certainly exceeded my expectations. I believe you will enjoy it just as much as I did.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\nWhat makes this sushi recipe super special is the matcha tahini drizzle<\/strong> that tops the mango tuna rolls. Not only is the matcha tahini drizzle amazingly delicious but it is also very nutritious! I combined ginger, matcha, miso, tahini, tangerine juice, rice vinegar, and coconut aminos. This can be put into a squeeze bottle for the easiest and most beautiful application.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\nYou'll want to start the sushi rice<\/a> first so it will have time to cook and cool down. I really like to use my Zojirushi Rice Cooker<\/a> (I've had it forever and it's still going strong) but you can just cook it on the stove top if you don't have one.<\/p>\n
Go to Printable Recipe<\/a><\/p>\n
Peel and slice the mangoes into enough slices for six rolls, I cut mine into about twelve good size pieces. Don't skimp on the mango because it really makes this sushi roll stand out.<\/p>\n
While your sushi rice is cooling, you can cook the ahi tuna steaks. I splurged on a large bag of sashimi grade ahi tuna from Costco<\/a>. Sprinkle a generous amount of salt and pepper before cooking. The key to perfect tuna steaks is to have your pan really hot; you want to hear a sizzle when the tuna hits the pan.<\/p>\n
I put about a teaspoon of toasted sesame oil in my pan but you can use whatever oil you have on hand. Allow the tuna to cook over medium-high heat for 2 minutes per side; you want a sizzle not a burn!

Once the tuna steaks are cooked, slice them with a very sharp knife against the grain (or flake?) of the tuna steak holding it on either side to keep it together. The tuna should be seared on the outside and lightly cooked on the inside, medium rare, or if you like it well done, cook it 3 minutes per side.<\/p>\nRoll your sushi!<\/h3>\n
If you have a sushi mat<\/a> place your Nori sheet<\/a> on top then add 1\/6 of the rice on top of the Nori sheet. Spread the rice over half of the nori sheet, add the mango and tuna, then roll! Don't worry if you don't have a sushi mat<\/a> you can still roll just fine; sometimes I don't even use mine.<\/p>\n
When you get near the opposite edge, wet the noril just a bit with a few drops of water to help it seal. By the way, this is a great cooking project for kids. My teenager and my nine year old helped me make the sushi pictured in this post. The only part they might need help with is the rolling and cutting.<\/em><\/p>\n

<\/p>\nNext, you will need a very sharp knife; I sharpen my knives each time I make sushi rolls. It also helps to have your knife wet before each slice. So I keep a small bowl of water near my rolling area so I can dip my knife in it and also use it to seal the Matcha Tahini Mango Tuna Sushi rolls.<\/p>\n
When you cut the sushi you want to cut it in half, then cut those pieces in thirds so that you end up with six pieces of sushi per roll. Alternatively, you can cut in half then cut in half again till you have eight pieces; but I have found that less than six pieces causes the fillings to squish out the ends.<\/p>\n
Plate the sushi. Next, using the squeeze bottle or a baggie with the tip cut off, add a drizzle of the Matcha Tahini across the cut side of the sushi pieces. If you like you can add a few drops of sriracha on top of that. Additionally, you might like to sprinkle a few more sesame seeds on top.<\/p>\n
