Step 1
Pat the tuna dry with paper towels, pressing gently on all sides until no visible moisture remains; this helps the tuna hold its shape when sliced.
Step 2
Place the tuna on a cutting board with the grain of the meat running left to right. Slice against the grain into 1/4-inch-thick pieces; you should have 12–16 slices.
Step 3
In a small bowl, stir together 3 tablespoons soy sauce, 1 tablespoon mirin, and 0.5 teaspoon wasabi until the wasabi is fully mixed in.
Step 4
Divide the warm sushi rice evenly between two bowls, packing it gently but not pressing hard so it stays light and fluffy.
Step 5
Arrange the tuna slices in a single layer on top of the rice in each bowl, overlapping them slightly like tiles.
Step 6
Drizzle half of the soy-wasabi sauce over the tuna and rice in each bowl, dividing it evenly.
Step 7
Scatter the nori strips over the top of each bowl for color and a briny flavor.
