Instructions

Rinse the sushi rice in cold water until it is clear.
In a medium saucepan, bring the rice and water to a boil.
Reduce the heat to low, cover, and cook for 18 minutes.
Allow to cool for 10 minutes after removing from the heat.
In a small saucepan, combine the rice vinegar, sugar, and salt and heat until the sugar dissolves.
Add the vinegar mixture to the rice in a large mixing bowl.
To combine, gently stir everything together.
Toss the tuna in a bowl with the soy sauce, mirin, and wasabi paste.
Place a nori sheet on a sushi mat or piece of plastic wrap.
Cover the nori with a thin layer of sushi rice, leaving a 1-inch border at the top.
Arrange slices of tuna and avocado on top of the rice.
Roll up the sushi and shape it with the mat or plastic wrap.
Rep with the rest of the ingredients.
Serve each roll cut into 8 pieces with pickled ginger and soy sauce.
