Ingredients:

  • 2 cups of sushi rice
  • Tuna (make sure it is sushi grade)
  • Mayonnaise
  • Sriracha
  • Vegetable or Canola oil
  • One avocado
  • Scallions (optional)
  • Seaweed
  • Sesame seeds (optional)

Sushi Rice:

To make sushi rice, you first need 2 cups of sushi rice, 2 tablespoons of sugar, one teaspoon of salt and a third cup of rice vinegar. Regular vinegar won’t work for this recipe.

Rinse the rice with cold water until the water is clear, then pour it into a pot with 2 cups of lukewarm water. Let it sit there for 30-45 minutes. Cook it in a rice cooker on the sushi mode for 10-15 minutes. After it is done, let it sit for 15 minutes. In a pot, combine the sugar, rice vinegar and salt. pour it over the sushi rice and combine. Let it rest until needed.

Spicy Mayonnaise:

Combine 4 tablespoons of mayonnaise to 3 tablespoons of sriracha. Then add one teaspoon of sugar and one teaspoon of soy sauce. This is option but finely chopped scallions can be added in as well.

Spicy Tuna:

Finely chop or mince the tuna into an almost paste like form. Combine the spicy mayo with the tuna. Mix thoroughly. Add a bit of sugar and salt until its to your liking.

Crispy Rice:

Now shape the now chilled sushi rice into squares before transferring them into a pan with canola oil. Fry each side until golden brown. Transfer them onto a plate after finishing.

Now slice up your avocado and put thin slices on the rice. Pieces of shredded seaweed can be tossed onto there as well. Put a spoonful of spicy tuna onto the mixture and sprinkle with sesame seeds. And you are done! Enjoy!
