Ingredients

  • 1 5 oz can tuna (preferably oil-packed), drained
  • 2 tbsp mayonnaise
  • 1 tbsp sriracha
  • 2 tsp soy sauce
  • 1/2 tsp rice wine vinegar
  • 1/2 tsp toasted sesame oil
  • 1 cup cooked sushi rice chilled (see note)
  • 1 tbsp avocado oil or another heat-tolerant oil
  • 1/4 cup scallions chopped
  • 1 mini cucumber sliced
  • Sesame seeds chili crisp and nori sheets for serving (optional)

Instructions

  • To make the spicy tuna, combine the canned tuna, mayonnaise, sriracha, soy sauce, vinegar and toasted sesame oil. Refrigerate until ready to use.
  • Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat for a couple minutes before adding the avocado oil. When the oil is shimmering, add the rice in large clumps and use a spatula to firmly press down. Cook for 3-5 minutes or until crispy and golden brown.
  • To assemble the bowls, add a scoop of spicy tuna, pieces of crispy rice, cucumber and garnish with scallions, sesame seeds and a drizzle of chili crisp. 

Notes

Sushi rice is easiest to handle and pan-fry when chilled. Cook the rice according to package instructions and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, ideally overnight. This recipe is a great way to use up leftover rice!
