Ingredients

  • 1 (5 oz) can tuna (preferably oil-packed), drained
  • 2 tbsp mayonnaise
  • 1 tbsp sriracha
  • 2 tsp soy sauce
  • 1/2 tsp rice wine vinegar
  • 1/2 tsp toasted sesame oil
  • 1 cup cooked sushi rice, chilled (see note)
  • 1 tbsp avocado oil or another heat-tolerant oil
  • 1/4 cup scallions, chopped
  • 1 mini cucumber, sliced
  • Sesame seeds, chili crisp and nori sheets for serving (optional)

Instructions

  1. To make the spicy tuna, combine the canned tuna, mayonnaise, sriracha, soy sauce, vinegar and toasted sesame oil. Refrigerate until ready to use.
  2. Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat for a couple minutes before adding the avocado oil. When the oil is shimmering, add the rice in large clumps and use a spatula to firmly press down. Cook for 3-5 minutes or until crispy and golden brown.
  3. To assemble the bowls, add a scoop of spicy tuna, pieces of crispy rice, cucumber and garnish with scallions, sesame seeds and a drizzle of chili crisp.
