Preparation Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Sushi Rice

    Rinse the sushi rice under cold water until the water runs clear. In a medium saucepan, combine the rinsed rice and water. Bring to a boil, reduce to a simmer, cover, and cook for 20 minutes. Remove from heat and let sit covered for an additional 10 minutes.

  2. 2

    Season the Rice

    In a small bowl, mix rice vinegar, sugar, and salt until dissolved. Once the rice has cooled slightly, fold the vinegar mixture into the rice. Allow to cool completely.

  3. 3

    Make the Spicy Tuna Mixture

    In a bowl, combine the drained tuna, sriracha sauce, and mayonnaise. Mix well until fully combined. Adjust sriracha to taste for desired spiciness.

  4. 4

    Form the Rice Cakes

    With wet hands, take about 1/4 cup of rice and form it into a rectangular cake, about 1/2 inch thick. Repeat with the remaining rice.

  5. 5

    Fry the Rice Cakes

    Heat vegetable oil in a pan over medium heat. Fry the rice cakes until golden brown and crispy on both sides, about 2-3 minutes per side. Drain on paper towels.

  6. 6

    Assemble the Dish

    Top each crispy rice cake with a generous dollop of spicy tuna mixture. Garnish with slices of avocado, radishes, sesame seeds, and green onions.

  7. 7

    Serve

    Serve immediately while the rice cakes are still warm and crispy.
