Spicy tuna
- 200g sashimi-grade tuna
- 1-2 tbsp Kewpie mayo
- 1-2 tsp sriracha
- 1/2 tsp soy sauce
- 1/4 tsp Shichimi Togarashi

INSTRUCTIONS
Prepare spicy tuna
- Small dice tuna.
- Combine tuna with all other ingredients for spicy tuna. Mix thoroughly. Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary.
Prepare crispy rice and assemble
- Add sushi rice seasoning to cooked rice and mix until combined.
- Using lightly wet hands, form rice into 12 rectangular patties of the same size.
- In a nonstick skillet, heat up oil over high heat. Add rice patties and fry each side for 3-4 minutes or until golden brown.
- Remove from heat and top each one with with spicy tuna.
- Garnish with additional tobiko if desired. Serve immediately.
NOTES
- This dish is best served immediately as the crispy rice and raw fish both don’t keep well.
- When forming the rice patties, it’s helpful to keep a bowl of water nearby to easily wet your hands as needed. Make sure you squeeze gently to ensure the rice patties will hold together when frying.
- Shichimi Togarashi is a Japanese spice blend. If you don’t have this, omit or substitute with chilli flakes.
- Feel free to adjust the amount of sriracha according to your spice tolerance.
- For an even lighter version of this dish, try replacing the crispy rice patties with brown rice thins or corn thins.
