Step 1
Combine mayonnaise, sriracha, and lime juice in a small bowl to make spicy mayo. Set aside.
Step 2
Dice the sushi-grade tuna into small cubes and fold into the spicy mayo with green onion until evenly coated.
Step 3
Place a nori sheet shiny-side down on a bamboo sushi mat, with the long edge closest to you.
Step 4
Spread 0.5 cup of sushi rice evenly across the nori, leaving a 0.5-inch border at the top.
Step 5
Sprinkle sesame seeds over the rice and press lightly.
Step 6
Place half the spicy tuna mixture in a line across the middle of the rice.
Step 7
Using the mat, roll tightly toward the top edge, sealing the seam with a wet finger.
Step 8
Slice the roll into 8 pieces using a sharp, wet knife with a single smooth motion per cut.
Step 9
Repeat with remaining ingredients to make a second roll.
Step 10
Arrange rolls on a plate with a small dish of soy sauce, pickled ginger, and extra sesame seeds on the side.
