Tuna Towers Ingredients

Method

Preparation Directions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Sushi Rice

    Rinse the sushi rice under cold water until the water runs clear. Cook according to package instructions. Once cooked, mix in rice vinegar and let it cool.

  2. 2

    Marinate the Tuna

    Dice the bigeye tuna into small cubes. In a bowl, mix sesame oil and ponzu sauce, then add the tuna, stirring to coat. Allow to marinate for about 15 minutes.

  3. 3

    Prepare the Spicy Crab Mix

    In a separate bowl, combine crab meat and sriracha sauce until well mixed.

  4. 4

    Prepare the Avocado

    Cut the avocado in half, remove the pit, and scoop out the flesh. Dice into small cubes.

  5. 5

    Assemble the Tuna Towers

    In a ring mold, layer the sushi rice, followed by the spicy crab mix, the marinated tuna, and top with diced avocado. Gently remove the mold.

  6. 6

    Garnish and Serve

    Top the tower with black tobiko and wasabi sprouts. Drizzle with honey wasabi, mango, and eel sauces as desired.
