Equipment
Method
- Rinse sushi rice until water runs clear. Cook in a rice cooker or stovetop according to package directions.
- Mix rice vinegar, sugar, and salt. Fold into the hot cooked rice gently.
- Line an 8x8 inch pan with plastic wrap. Press rice firmly into the pan to create an even layer. Cover and refrigerate for at least 2 hours (or overnight).
- Remove chilled rice block and cut into uniform rectangles (approx 2x1 inches).
- Heat vegetable oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Fry rice cakes for 3-4 minutes per side until golden brown and crispy. Drain on wire rack.
- In a bowl, mix diced tuna, mayo, sriracha, sesame oil, soy sauce, and chopped scallions.
- Assemble by placing a slice of avocado on the crispy rice, topping with a spoonful of spicy tuna, and garnishing with a jalapeno slice and sesame seeds.
- Serve immediately while rice is warm and crispy.
Notes
Ensure you buy high-quality sashimi-grade fish. Do not skip the chilling step for the rice, or it will fall apart in the oil.
