  • Total Time: 30 minutes
  • Yield: 4 servings 1x

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups cooked sushi rice
  • 1/4 cup rice vinegar
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 pound sushi-grade tuna, diced
  • 2 tablespoons mayonnaise
  • 1 tablespoon sriracha
  • 1 avocado, sliced
  • 1 tablespoon sesame seeds
  • Soy sauce for serving
  • Chives for garnish

Instructions

  1. In a bowl, mix cooked sushi rice with rice vinegar and salt. Spread the rice evenly in a square pan and let it cool.
  2. Once the rice has cooled, cut the rice into bite-sized squares.
  3. In another bowl, combine diced tuna, mayonnaise, and sriracha. Adjust the sriracha according to your heat preference.
  4. Heat oil in a pan over medium-high heat. Fry the rice squares until crispy on both sides, about 2-3 minutes each side.
  5. Top each crispy rice bite with a spoonful of the spicy tuna mixture and a slice of avocado.
  6. Serve immediately with soy sauce on the side for dipping.

Notes

For best results, serve fresh. Store rice squares and tuna mixture separately in airtight containers in the refrigerator.
