- 1 tbsp rice vinegar
- 1 tsp sugar
- Pinch of salt
- Neutral oil (for frying)
For the spicy tuna topping:

🍳 Instructions
Step 1: Prepare the Sushi Rice
Mix the cooled rice with rice vinegar, sugar, and salt. Press into a flat, even layer (1–2 cm thick) in a parchment-lined container. Chill in fridge or freezer for 1 hour to firm.
Step 2: Cut and Fry
Cut the chilled rice slab into bite-sized rectangles. Heat oil in a pan and fry rice pieces until golden and crispy on both sides. Drain on paper towels.
Step 3: Make the Spicy Tuna
In a bowl, combine chopped tuna, mayo, sriracha, soy sauce, and sesame oil. Mix well until creamy.
Step 4: Assemble the Bites
Top each crispy rice rectangle with a spoonful of spicy tuna or sliced avocado. Garnish with sesame seeds, green onions, or jalapeño slices.
🥑 Vegan Option
Swap tuna for mashed spicy avocado or chopped mango with sriracha-mayo for a refreshing plant-based version!
🍽️ Serving Suggestions
- Serve with soy sauce, wasabi, or spicy mayo on the side.
- Pair with edamame or a light miso soup for a full sushi-style meal.
