Main Ingredients

  • 1 5 oz can tuna, 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
  • 1 tbsp avocado oil or another heat-tolerant oil
  • 1 4 cup scallions, chopped
  • 1 optional sesame seeds, chili crisp, and nori sheets for serving

Instructions
 

  • In a medium bowl, mix together the drained tuna, mayonnaise, sriracha, soy sauce, rice wine vinegar, and toasted sesame oil. Stir well and refrigerate until you're ready to use it.
  • Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat for about 2 minutes. Once hot, add the avocado oil and let it shimmer.
  • Add the chilled sushi rice to the skillet in large clumps. Use a spatula to firmly press down on the rice. Cook for 3-5 minutes, or until the bottom is crispy and golden brown.
  • To assemble your bowls, place a scoop of the spicy tuna on top of the crispy rice. Add slices of cucumber and sprinkle with chopped scallions. If desired, garnish with sesame seeds and a drizzle of chili crisp.

Notes

For a fun twist, try adding other toppings like sliced avocado or pickled ginger. Make sure your rice is well-chilled to achieve the best crispy texture.
