Method
- In a small bowl, mix rice vinegar, sugar, and salt until dissolved. Pour over the warm cooked sushi rice and gently fold together. Let cool slightly.
- Divide the seasoned rice into four equal portions. Using wet hands or a mold, firmly press the rice into tight, compact 3/4-inch thick patties.
- Wrap the patties in plastic wrap and chill in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes to firm up.
- In a mixing bowl, combine the chopped tuna, Kewpie mayo, sriracha, soy sauce, and 1/2 tsp sesame oil. Mix gently and keep refrigerated.
- Heat neutral oil and 1 tbsp sesame oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Fry the chilled rice patties for 3-5 minutes per side until deeply golden and crispy. Drain on paper towels.
- Assemble by placing one crispy rice bun on a plate, topping generously with the spicy tuna mixture, sliced avocado, and chopped scallions. Top with a second rice bun and serve immediately.
Notes
Chilling the rice patties is a crucial step; if you skip it, the buns may fall apart when frying.
