Spicy Tuna Crispy Rice

A delightful combination of spicy tuna and crispy rice that is easy to make and packed with flavor.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 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)

Instructions

  1. Rinse the sushi rice under cold water until the water runs clear. Drain well.
  2. 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.
  3. While the rice is cooking, mix rice vinegar, sugar, and salt in a small bowl until dissolved.
  4. Once the rice is cooked, transfer it to a bowl and gently fold in the vinegar mixture. Allow it to cool.
  5. In another bowl, combine diced tuna, mayonnaise, sriracha, and green onions. Mix well.
  6. Once the rice has cooled, form small rectangles of rice and press firmly to hold their shape.
  7. Heat vegetable oil in a frying pan over medium heat. Fry the rice rectangles until golden and crispy on both sides.
  8. Top each crispy rice piece with the spicy tuna mixture and a slice of avocado.
  9. 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.
