Method
Prepare Sushi Rice
- 1
Rinse the Rice
In a fine mesh strainer, rinse 1 cup of sushi rice under cold water until the water runs clear. This removes excess starch.
- 2
Cook the Rice
In a medium saucepan, combine the rinsed sushi rice with 1.5 cups of water. Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat to low, cover, and simmer for 18-20 minutes, or until the rice is tender and the water is absorbed.
- 3
Season the Rice
In a small bowl, mix together 2 tablespoons of rice vinegar, 1 tablespoon of sugar, and 0.5 teaspoon of salt. Once the rice is cooked, transfer it to a bowl and gently fold in the vinegar mixture. Allow to cool to room temperature.
Prepare Tuna

Slice Tuna
Using a sharp knife, cut the 8 oz of sushi grade tuna into thin slices, about 1/4 inch thick.

Season Tuna
In a bowl, combine the sliced tuna with 2 tablespoons of soy sauce, 1 teaspoon of wasabi, and 1 teaspoon of sesame oil. Mix well and let marinate for about 10 minutes.
Assemble the Stack

Create Layers
On a serving plate, begin by placing a layer of seasoned sushi rice at the bottom. Use a ring mold for a neat shape if desired.

Top with Prawn Crackers
Add a layer of prawn crackers on top of the tuna, gently pressing them down to secure.
