Preparation

Low

Mix the drained tuna with the mayonnaise, red onion, celery, habanero chili, soy sauce, and enough salt and pepper in a bowl. Add the candied sesame seeds and mix again. Reserve in the refrigerator until use. Cut the ends of the carrot with a knife, peel with a potato peeler, and cut into thin strips. Reserve. Cut the cream cheese into thin strips using a wet knife; this will help prevent the cream cheese from breaking or sticking. Remember to moisten the knife between each cut. Reserve. Slice the cucumber lengthwise and crosswise with a potato peeler. It doesn’t matter if you use the skin, just avoid the seeds. Reserve once you have enough cucumber slices. Place the cucumber slices stacked to form a rectangle on a sheet of non-stick plastic wrap. Add the tuna mixture horizontally, avoiding too much juice, and remember to leave a 2-centimeter gap to be able to close it. Add strips of carrot, strips of cream cheese, and candied sesame seeds. Close with the help of the plastic, pressing to prevent the filling from coming out. Freeze the economical tuna sushi for 20 minutes. Unwrap the cucumber roll and cut it into 1-centimeter thick slices. Serve the tuna sushi rolls with soy sauce.
