Classic Tekka Maki

The simplest tuna roll, and still one of the best. The fillings are simple so the technique can shine.

Classic Tekka Maki: tekka tuna maki on dark slate

Line up every filling before you start and this roll comes together in minutes. Look for tuna with a clear, glassy red color and no rainbow sheen; a single even block is far easier to slice than trimmed pieces. A small dish of pickled ginger between bites keeps the palate fresh.
