TUNA POKÉ SUMMER ROLLS

- METHOD -

Start off by whisking the soy sauce, sesame oil, rice vinegar, ginger, chilli flakes and Cape Herb and Spice Poké Seasoning together.

Then combine this dressing with the tuna and spring onions.Mix gently to coat.

Mix the wasabi and mayonnaise together.

To assemble the summer rolls:

Dip the rice paper wrapper in water and remove the excess water with a clean dishcloth and place it on a clean dry work surface.

Working on the bottom third of the rice paper wrapper, spread a bit of sushi rice and cucumber down. Swish the wasabi mayo over the sushi rice.

Then top with the avocado & finally the tuna poke.

Give everything a little squeeze of fresh lime juice.

Next, fold up the sides and bottom edge to cover. Roll it tightly and continue this with the remaining ingredients.

Slice the summer rolls in half and place them on a platter with a dipping bowl of soy sauce.

Scatter them with extra Cape Herb and Spice Poke Seasoning and enjoy.
