Ingredients

For the Sushi Rice:

1 cup sushi rice

1 1/4 cup water

2 tbsp rice vinegar

2 tsp honey or granulated sugar

For the Spicy Tuna:

1 tbsp oil

2 small tuna steaks

For the Assembly:

1 avocado, mashed

Spicy mayo (mayonnaise mixed with sriracha and lemon or lime juice)

Fried wontons or tortilla chips

Furikake Japanese Multi-Purpose Seasoning

Instructions

  • Cook the Sushi Rice:
    Rinse the sushi rice under cold water until the water runs clear. In a saucepan, combine the rinsed rice and water, bringing it to a boil before reducing the heat to low. Cover and simmer for 15 minutes. Let it sit for an additional 10 minutes off the heat. In a small bowl, combine rice vinegar and honey (or sugar) before gently folding it into the rice. Let the rice cool to room temperature.

  • Prepare the Spicy Tuna:
    Heat oil in a pan over medium heat. Sear the tuna steaks for 1-2 minutes per side, keeping the center rare. Let the tuna cool, then finely chop it.

  • Make the Spicy Tuna Mixture:
    In a bowl, combine the chopped tuna with spicy mayo, mixing until the tuna is evenly coated.

  • Assemble the Stack:
    On a serving plate, layer the sushi rice, followed by mashed avocado, and then the spicy tuna mixture. Top with a sprinkle of furikake seasoning for added flavor.

  • Add the Crunch:
    Garnish with fried wontons or tortilla chips for a satisfying crunch.

Notes

Sushi rice can be made ahead of time and stored in the fridge. Let it cool to room temperature before using.

The tuna should be sushi-grade to ensure safety.

For more heat, add more sriracha to the spicy mayo or include diced jalapeños in the tuna mixture.
