Brown rice sushi

I have always loved sushi and used to make it a lot when I was younger, however mine never seemed to be as good as the ones I bought from the shops.Unfortunately at this stage there seem to be very few sushi places around that offer the healthier version, brown rice sushi. Because of this, and also because good sushi is quite expensive, I decided to have a go at making my own brown rice sushi.I went to the Asian grocery store to get the rice vinegar and seaweed sheets as it is much cheaper than buying them from the supermarket.The sushi I made was tuna mixed with gluten free mayonnaise and avocado, and I have to say that it was just as good, if not better, than the bought version. Because I used brown rice it didn’t stick together as well as white rice sushi, however it still tasted great!
