Spicy Ahi Tuna + Crispy Rice Recipe

Preparation Directions

1. 1

   Prepare the Sushi Rice

   Rinse the sushi rice under cold water until the water runs clear. In a rice cooker, combine rice and water, and cook according to the rice cooker's instructions. Once cooked, let it cool slightly.

2. 2

   Season the Rice

   In a small bowl, mix rice vinegar, sugar, and salt until dissolved. Gently fold the mixture into the warm rice. Allow the rice to cool to room temperature.

3. 3

   Make the Spicy Aioli

   In a bowl, combine mayonnaise, sriracha, lime juice, and minced garlic. Mix well and set aside.

4. 4

   Prepare the Wasabi Crema

   In a small bowl, mix sour cream with wasabi paste until smooth. Set aside.

5. 5

   Make the Eel Sauce

   In a saucepan over medium heat, combine soy sauce, brown sugar, mirin, cornstarch, and water. Stir frequently until the mixture thickens. Remove from heat and let cool.

6. 6

   Crisp the Sushi Rice

   Heat a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat. Form the sushi rice into small patties and fry until golden brown and crispy on both sides, about 3-4 minutes per side.

7. 7

   Assemble the Dish

   Top each crispy rice patty with diced Ahi tuna, sliced avocado, a drizzle of spicy aioli, and wasabi crema. Finish with a drizzle of eel sauce and garnish with micro greens.
