- 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
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- Once the rice is cool, form small rectangles or squares using wet hands.
- Heat vegetable oil in a pan over medium heat and fry the rice squares until golden and crispy on both sides.
- 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.
