Learn how to make delicious Spicy Tuna Crispy Rice. Easy recipe with step-by-step instructions.
Total Time:45 minutes
Yield:4 servings
Ingredients
2 cups sushi rice
2 1/2 cups water
1/4 cup rice vinegar
2 tablespoons sugar
1 teaspoon salt
8 ounces sushi-grade tuna, finely chopped
2 tablespoons mayonnaise
1 tablespoon Sriracha sauce (adjust to taste)
1 teaspoon soy sauce
1 avocado, sliced
Sesame seeds, for garnish
Chopped green onions, for garnish
Vegetable oil, for frying
Instructions
Rinse the sushi rice under cold water until the water runs clear. This helps remove the excess starch, ensuring that your rice is perfectly fluffy.
In a medium saucepan, combine the rinsed rice and water. Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat to low, cover, and cook for 18-20 minutes.
While the rice cooks, mix the rice vinegar, sugar, and salt in a small bowl until dissolved. Gently fold this mixture into the cooked rice. Let it cool completely.
Shape the cooled rice into small rectangular blocks, about 1 inch by 2 inches. These will be the crispy bases for your tuna topping.
Heat vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Fry the rice blocks until golden brown on each side, about 2-3 minutes per side. Drain on paper towels.
In a small bowl, combine the chopped tuna, mayonnaise, Sriracha, and soy sauce. Mix until well combined and adjust seasoning to taste.
Top each crispy rice block with a spoonful of the spicy tuna mixture. Garnish with avocado slices, sesame seeds, and green onions.
