- 1 cup sushi rice
- 2 cups water
- 2 tablespoons rice vinegar
- 1 tablespoon sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 8 ounces sushi-grade tuna, diced
- 2 tablespoons mayonnaise
- 1 teaspoon sriracha (or to taste)
- 1 green onion, chopped
- 1 avocado, sliced
- 1 cup vegetable oil (for frying)
- 1 tablespoon sesame seeds (for garnish)
- Rinse the sushi rice under cold water until the water runs clear. Drain well.
- In a pot, combine the rice and water, then bring to a boil. Reduce heat to low, cover, and cook for 18-20 minutes until the rice is tender.
- While the rice is cooking, mix rice vinegar, sugar, and salt in a small bowl until dissolved.
- Once the rice is cooked, transfer it to a bowl and gently fold in the vinegar mixture. Allow it to cool.
- In another bowl, combine diced tuna, mayonnaise, sriracha, and green onions. Mix well.
- Once the rice has cooled, form small rectangles of rice and press firmly to hold their shape.
- Heat vegetable oil in a frying pan over medium heat. Fry the rice rectangles until golden and crispy on both sides.
- Top each crispy rice piece with the spicy tuna mixture and a slice of avocado.
- Garnish with sesame seeds before serving.
Notes
- Adjust the level of spiciness by adding more or less sriracha.
- Fry the rice pieces in batches to maintain temperature.
