Preparation

  1. Step 1

    Bloom gelatin sheets in ice water or sprinkle gelatin over ½ cup ice water to soften. Bring each juice to a boil separately and season each with salt and pepper. Squeeze the water from the gelatin sheets and place 5 sheets or ¼ of the softened gelatin into each hot juice. Stir to dissolve.

  2. Step 2

    Line 4 10-inch pie tins with plastic wrap. Pour juices in so that each comes to a depth of ⅛ inch. Refrigerate for 3 hours, until firm.

  3. Step 3

    Cut tuna into 4 logs, about 5 inches long and 1 inch wide. Season with salt and pepper. Cut rectangles of each jellied juice large enough to cover a tuna log. Wrap logs in each of the four gels, one on top of the other. Roll each log in nori and seal the edges with water.

  4. Step 4

    Rehydrate the rice paper in lukewarm water for 30 seconds on each side. Roll the nori-wrapped tuna in rice paper. Chill.
