Notes
*Both white and brown rice work well in this recipe. Use whichever you prefer. If you really want to go out, use sushi rice. It is wonderfully sticky and chewy just like sushi but as a fair warning, it is extremely expensive. **Since the tuna is raw in this recipe, it is important that it is sushi grade which is basically high quality tuna that is safe to eat raw. Read the post for more information but in short you can get sushi grade tuna at quality fish markets and grocery stores. Just ask the staff working at the counter!***Eel sauce is the slightly sweet sauce often drizzled over sushi. It is referred to as Eel Sauce, Unagi Sauce or Sushi Sauce and can be found in the Asian section of the grocery store. I highly recommend it!
