Spicy Tuna Crispy Rice (Nobu)

Learn how to make the best Spicy Tuna Crispy Rice inspired by Nobu’s signature dish.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup sushi rice
  • 2 cups water
  • 1/4 cup rice vinegar
  • 1 tablespoon sugar
  • 1 tablespoon salt
  • 8 ounces sushi-grade tuna
  • 2 tablespoons sriracha
  • 1 tablespoon mayonnaise
  • 1 green onion, chopped
  • 1 avocado, sliced
  • 1 sheet of nori, cut into strips
  • as needed vegetable oil for frying

Instructions

  1. Rinse the sushi rice under cold water until the water runs clear. Combine rice and water in a rice cooker and cook according to manufacturer’s instructions.
  2. In a small bowl, mix rice vinegar, sugar, and salt until dissolved. Once rice is cooked, transfer to a bowl and gently fold in the vinegar mixture. Allow to cool.
  3. While the rice cools, prepare the spicy tuna by cutting the tuna into small cubes and mixing it with sriracha, mayonnaise, and chopped green onion.
  4. Once the rice is cool, form small rectangles or squares using wet hands.
  5. Heat vegetable oil in a pan over medium heat and fry the rice squares until golden and crispy on both sides.
  6. To serve, top the crispy rice with a spoonful of spicy tuna and a slice of avocado, and garnish with nori strips.

Notes

  • Ensure the rice is seasoned well for maximum flavor.
  • Adjust the spiciness by adding more or less sriracha to the tuna mixture.
