RECIPE: ISO: DebbieNJ or anyone that has made this recipe REC: Tuna and Shrimp Nori...

I wanted to make this tonight, and I am not sure how to proceed with the recipe. I am assuming the tuna is raw and chopped, and you would just assemble the rolls by laying the ingredients across the nori covered rice and roll up, then slice? Does this sound right? Thanks!

i haven't made that exact recipe, but in general...

try to julienne all the veg contents so they're long and an appropriate width. you can put the nori on the outside, top with rice and contents lengthwise, and roll (use a bamboo roller), and kinda seal the edge of the nori with a smear of water. or start with the rice on the outside, but make sure you've got cling film on your rolling mat. i'm afraid i don't know re: the tuna as i've only done veggie rolls. good luck!

I think the tuna is julienned too and layed out to fit with the veggies.
