Prepare Spicy Mayo

  1. 1

    Mix Ingredients

    In a bowl, combine mayonnaise, sriracha, and lemon juice. Stir until well mixed. Set aside.

Cook Sesame Rice

  1. 2

    Rinse and Cook Rice

    Rinse sushi rice under cold water until the water runs clear. In a pot, combine rinsed rice and water. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low and cover. Cook for 15 minutes or until water is absorbed.

  2. 3

    Season Rice

    Remove from heat and let sit covered for 10 minutes. Fluff rice with a fork and mix in sesame oil, rice vinegar, salt, and sesame seeds. Let cool.

Prepare Vegetables

    Cook Sweet Potato

    Peel and dice the sweet potato into small cubes. Boil in salted water for about 10 minutes or until tender. Drain and set aside.

    Thinly slice the cucumber and jalapeno. Set aside.

  3. 6

    Chop Scallion and Shiso

    Chop the scallion and shiso leaves finely. Set aside.

Prepare Tuna

    Season Tuna

    Cut the sushi-grade tuna into small cubes. In a bowl, combine the tuna with sweet tamari and togarashi. Mix gently and set aside.

Make Garlic Chips

  1. 8

    Slice and Fry Garlic

    Thinly slice the garlic cloves. In a pan, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add garlic slices and fry until golden brown and crispy. Remove with a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels.

Assemble the Dish

  1. 9

    Layer Ingredients

    In a sushi mat or on a plate, lay down a thin layer of sesame rice. Add a layer of sweet potato, followed by the seasoned tuna, cucumber, jalapeno, scallion, and shiso. Drizzle spicy mayo on top.

  2. 10

    Add Garlic Chips

    Sprinkle garlic chips on top for added crunch and flavor. Optionally garnish with extra togarashi.

  3. 11
