📝Instructions
- 1
Rinse the sushi rice under cold water until the water runs clear. Drain well.
- 2
In a medium saucepan, combine the rinsed rice and 1 1/4 cups water. Bring to a boil over high heat, then reduce the heat to low, cover, and simmer for 18-20 minutes, or until the water is absorbed and the rice is tender.
- 3
Remove the saucepan from heat and let it stand, covered, for 10 minutes.
- 4
In a small bowl, mix rice vinegar, sugar, and salt until dissolved. Gently fold this mixture into the cooked rice. Spread the rice on a baking sheet to cool slightly.
- 5
In a medium bowl, combine diced tuna, mayonnaise, sriracha, soy sauce, and sesame oil. Mix well until the tuna is evenly coated. Set aside.
- 6
Shape the cooled rice into small patties or rectangles, approximately 1 1/2 inches wide and 1/2 inch thick.
- 7
Heat vegetable oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Fry the rice patties for 2-3 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and crispy. Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.
- 8
Assemble the bowls by placing a few crispy rice patties in each bowl. Top with the spicy tuna mixture, avocado slices, cucumber slices, and green onions.
- 9
Sprinkle with sesame seeds and serve immediately with soy sauce, wasabi, and pickled ginger on the side.
