Use the same volume. Baking behavior varies by blend: some brown faster or stay softer, while others brown less. Follow the package's baking guidance and start checking a few minutes early.
1 tsp salt

12 oz sushi-grade tuna, finely diced
3 tbsp mayonnaise
1 ½ tbsp sriracha
1 tsp tamari
1 tsp sesame oil

For assembly

8 sheets nori (dried seaweed)
2 tbsp scallion greens, thinly sliced
1 tbsp sesame seeds (optional)

For serving

pickled ginger, for serving (optional)
wasabi paste, for serving (optional)

Instructions

1
Rinse the sushi rice in a fine-mesh strainer under cold water, swirling with your hand, until the water runs nearly clear, about 1–2 minutes. Combine the rinsed rice and 2 1/2 cups water in a medium saucepan. Bring to a boil over high heat, then reduce to the lowest possible heat, cover tightly, and cook for 15 minutes. Remove from heat and let steam, covered, for 10 minutes — do not lift the lid during this time.
2
While the rice steams, stir together the rice vinegar, sugar, and salt in a small bowl until the sugar and salt dissolve.
