Step-by-Step Instructions for Crispy Rice Spicy Tuna
- Rinse sushi rice under cold water until it runs clear. Combine with water in a medium saucepan, bring to a boil, reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 18-20 minutes. Allow to rest for 10 minutes.
- In a small saucepan, combine rice vinegar, sugar, and salt. Heat over low flame until sugar dissolves. Set aside.
- Mix sushi rice with prepared seasoning gently. Press into an 8x8 pan lined with plastic wrap, cover, and chill for at least 30 minutes.
- Cut the chilled rice into rectangles measuring 2 inches by 1 inch, making about 15 pieces.
- Heat vegetable oil in a deep skillet to 350°F. Add rice rectangles in batches and fry for 2-3 minutes per side until golden brown. Drain on paper towel.
- Combine chopped tuna with Kewpie mayonnaise, Sriracha, soy sauce, and lime juice in a bowl. Mix until well-coated.
- Slice avocado into wedges and dice jalapeños if using. Prepare toppings for assembly.
- Assemble by placing a slice of avocado on each piece of crispy rice, followed by spicy tuna mixture, jalapeños, and sesame seeds. Serve immediately.
