01
Step 1
Start by bringing 2 cups of water and cider vinegar to a boil in a medium saucepan. Stir in the rice, then lower the heat, cover, and let it simmer for about 20 minutes until the rice is soft and sticky. While the rice cooks, boil the chard in enough water to cover it until it’s tender. Once cooked, drain and slice it into thin strips.

Step 2
Next, whisk the eggs together with soy sauce and a bit of water. Pour the mixture into a skillet over medium heat and cook until it thickens like a thin omelet. Remove it from the pan and cut into strips.

Step 3
Heat some vegetable oil in a pan over medium-high heat and cook the onion slowly until it softens. Add the beef and a splash of soy sauce, cooking until the meat is browned all over. Drain any excess liquid and set it aside.

Step 4
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Lay the nori sheets on a baking sheet and pop them in the oven for a minute or two until they get just a little crisp.

Step 5
Place a nori sheet on a bamboo rolling mat and spread about a 3/4 inch layer of rice evenly over it, leaving the edges clear. Starting at one end, layer a carrot stick, some tuna, chard, egg strips, cucumber slices, and beef in a line about halfway across the sheet. Roll it up tightly using the mat, sealing the edge with a grain or two of rice. Slice the roll into about four pieces and enjoy!

How to serve
Serve with a side of pickled ginger, wasabi, and soy sauce for dipping. A light Korean-style dipping sauce or kimchi can add a nice spicy kick. Pair with a cold green tea or sparkling water for a refreshing balance.
Storage & leftovers
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours. To keep the rice from drying out, cover with a damp cloth before sealing. Avoid freezing, as it can change the texture of the rice and fish.
