Ingredients

Method

Directions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Sushi Rice

    Rinse the sushi rice under cold water until the water runs clear. Cook the rice according to package instructions. Once cooked, transfer to a bowl and mix in rice vinegar, sugar, and salt. Allow to cool.

  2. 2

    Form the Rice Cakes

    Once the rice has cooled, wet your hands and take a handful of rice. Form it into small rectangular cakes, about 2 inches by 3 inches. Repeat until all rice is used.

  3. 3

    Fry the Rice Cakes

    In a frying pan, heat vegetable oil over medium heat. Carefully place the rice cakes into the hot oil and fry until golden brown and crispy, about 3-4 minutes on each side. Remove and drain on paper towels.

  4. 4

    Prepare the Spicy Mayo

    In a small bowl, mix together mayonnaise and Sriracha sauce until well combined. Adjust spiciness to taste.

  5. 5

    Slice the Tuna

    Thinly slice the Yellowfin tuna into bite-sized pieces.

  6. 6

    Assemble the Dish

    Place a crispy rice cake on a plate. Top with a slice of Yellowfin tuna and a drizzle of spicy mayo. Garnish with sliced serrano peppers, sesame seeds, and chopped green onions.
