No, it is not a traditional Korean food, but it is quite a simple meal to make.

I do not know if this sushi is available in Japan or not, but I know this is very delicious to eat! It will make a great party finger food.

Tips

  1. When rice seem to stick on your hand, use cold water. (Have a bowl of cold water next to you so you can use it as you need it.)
  2. The height of rice’s dough ball should be lower than the sliced cucumber’s height to hold the tuna salad topping.
