Tekka Maki are mini maki rolls. They normally have only Raw tuna as filling. Sometimes cucumber, and takuan (yellow pickled vegetable). Tekka means Hot Iron and when you the finished sushi cut pieces the centre looks fire red with surrounding sushi rice and probably why they call it Tekka Maki.

Ingredients

• 1 ounce sashimi grade tuna, roughly 1 inch thick
• 4 Nori sheets
• 4 cups prepared sushi rice (Click Here to Know)
• 2 teaspoons wasabi paste, or to taste
• 1/4 cup thinly sliced scallions, rinsed and patted dry
• soy sauce
• pickled ginger

Directions

1. Cut the Tuna Fish fillet lengthwise, 1/2 inch thickness and horizontally into half so that get fish sticks.
2. Spread the bamboo sheet with plastic sheet over it on the working table. Put the Nori sheet on it with the shiny side down.
3. Spread the Sushi rice already prepared over the nori sheet leaving a margin towards your side and opposite edge farthest away from you.
4. Spread wasabi paste at the center and sprinkle scallions over it. Again spread some wasabi paste.
5. Lay 2 to 3 sticks of tuna over it spanning end to end to the width of nori sheet.
6. Start rolling from the edge of the mat closest to you, keeping one hand on the fillings to avoid slipping away, and roll the mat and its contents away from you until the edge of the mat touches down on the far edge of the rice. Tighten the bamboo roll so that the Sushi roll is firm. Apply vinegar water to edge of the nori sheet so that sushi roll is tightly sealed.
7. Repeat the process for the balance sushi rice with another nori sheet.
8. Cut each roll into 8 equal pieces, wiping the knife with damp towel each time you cut to avoid rice sticking to the knife.
9. Serve with soy sauce as a dipping sauce, wasabi paste(for wasabi lovers) and pickled ginger.

One Variant of Dynamite Roll is using Japanese amberjack or yellowtail or Hamachi, in the Sushi fillings instead of Prawn Tempura.
