Instructions

1

Dice the tuna into 1/4-inch cubes. Toss gently with soy sauce, sesame oil, and sriracha. Refrigerate while you prepare the rice cakes.

Tip: Only use sushi-grade tuna from a trusted source. The fish is served raw.

2

Mix the cooled sushi rice with rice vinegar. Wet your hands and shape the rice into 8 small rectangular cakes, about 2x3 inches and 1/2-inch thick. Press firmly so they hold together.

3

Heat vegetable oil in a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat. Sear the rice cakes for 2-3 minutes per side until golden and crispy on the outside.

4

Mix the mayonnaise and sriracha for the sriracha mayo.

5

Top each crispy rice cake with a slice of avocado, a spoonful of spicy tuna, a drizzle of sriracha mayo, sesame seeds, and sliced green onion. Serve immediately.
