Instructions

1
Wash the cucumber. Using a vegetable peeler, slice the cucumber lengthwise into thin, long ribbons.
2
Lay the cucumber ribbons on a paper towel and pat them dry to remove excess moisture.
3
In a medium bowl, combine the drained tuna, mayonnaise or Greek yogurt, rice vinegar, and sriracha or chili garlic sauce.
4
Mix the tuna salad ingredients until well combined.
5
On a cutting board or clean surface, lay the cucumber ribbons side-by-side, overlapping them slightly to form a rectangular mat.
6
Spread the tuna salad mixture evenly over the cucumber mat.
7
Carefully and tightly roll the cucumber mat over the filling to create a log.
8
Using a sharp knife, slice the log into 1-inch thick rolls.
9
Arrange the cucumber tuna rolls on a plate. Garnish with sesame seeds and serve with soy sauce for dipping.

Tips & Notes

Pro tips

Slice cucumber lengthwise on a mandoline or vegetable peeler for thin, pliable ribbons that won't tear when wrapped.
Drain canned tuna thoroughly and press between paper towels to remove excess liquid—wetter filling makes rolls unstable.
Mix the tuna filling 5 minutes before assembling to let sriracha and chili garlic sauce fully disperse and brighten the flavor.
Chill roll-ups for 15–20 minutes before serving to help the filling set and make them easier to handle.

Substitutions

canned tuna → fresh tuna salad or cooked shrimp (for a fresher texture)
mayonnaise + Greek yogurt → all mayonnaise or all Greek yogurt (adjusts richness and tang)
sriracha + chili garlic sauce → sambal oelek or fresh minced jalapeño (more texture, less heat)
sesame seeds → furikake or chopped scallions (adds umami or mild onion flavor)

Storage & make-ahead

Refrigerate assembled roll-ups in an airtight container for up to 4 hours; serve cold with soy sauce on the side to prevent sogginess.

Common Questions

How do I keep cucumber slices from breaking when rolling?

Use a vegetable peeler or mandoline to create thin, flexible slices. Gently pat them dry before filling to reduce excess moisture that weakens the structure.
