Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup sushi rice
  • 1.5 cups low-sodium chicken broth
  • 8 oz sushi-grade fresh tuna, diced
  • 2 tbsp sriracha sauce
  • 2 tbsp mayonnaise (Japanese mayo preferred)
  • 2 tbsp green onions, finely chopped
  • 1 tsp sesame oil
  • Vegetable oil for frying
  • 1 avocado, sliced for serving
  • Microgreens for garnish

Instructions

  1. Rinse sushi rice until water runs clear. Cook in chicken broth over medium heat until absorbed, about 15 minutes.
  2. Transfer cooked rice to a greased baking dish, pressing down firmly to create a one-inch layer. Chill in the fridge for at least one hour.
  3. Once firm, cut rice into two-inch squares.
  4. Heat vegetable oil in a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat and fry rice squares until golden brown on each side (about three minutes per side). Drain on paper towels.
  5. In a bowl, mix diced tuna with sriracha, mayonnaise, green onions, and sesame oil.
  6. Top each crispy rice square with the spicy tuna mixture and garnish with avocado slices and microgreens before serving.
