One of my favorite sushi spots in Los Angeles, is called Hama, located in Little Tokyo. They have strict rules: no sides of rice served, no rolls stuffed with cream cheese and absolutely no picture-taking of your food, which is a hard one for someone like me who loves Instagram. My favorite is sitting at the cozy bar, sipping beer and eating one delicious piece of fish after the other. It’s an epic dinner. The downside is that since the restaurant is small, and is very popular, the wait can be brutal. I made these spicy tuna hand rolls the other night when I was craving sushi but wasn’t prepared to endure any sort of wait. I started with doing research as to how to make sushi rice–I had no idea the process was so detailed. I found Marc’s post on Sushi Rice to be super helpful. I was pleasantly surprised with the results. This meal was fresh, fun to assemble and indulged my sushi craving. Rather than assembling all of them and serving them, I found it best to serve everything in separate ramekins and allow people to assemble the rolls themselves.

It makes it a bit more fun! The recipe below uses Asian mix sprouts I found at the grocery store, but feel free to substitute with other sprouts or microgreens. Or you could simply skip it all together and add in julienned carrots. It’ll all be delicious.
