Step‑by‑Step Instructions for Spicy Tuna Crispy Rice
- Begin by rinsing 1 cup of sushi rice under cool water until the water runs clear, then cook according to package instructions.
- In a small saucepan, combine 2 tablespoons of rice vinegar, 1 tablespoon of granulated sugar, and 1 teaspoon of kosher salt. Heat until the sugar and salt dissolve completely.
- Transfer the warm cooked rice to a bowl and gently fold in the prepared sushi vinegar. Let cool before covering.
- Finely chop 8 ounces of sushi-grade ahi tuna and mix with 2 sliced scallions and diced jalapeño, refrigerate until ready.
- In a bowl, whisk together ¼ cup of Kewpie mayonnaise, 1-2 tablespoons of Sriracha, and 1 tablespoon of ponzu sauce until smooth.
- Heat ½ inch of grapeseed oil in a skillet. Shape the chilled sushi rice into small rectangles and fry until golden brown, about 2-3 minutes per side.
- Once crispy, assemble by placing spicy tuna on each rice piece and garnish with black sesame seeds and spicy mayo as desired.
- Serve immediately with soy sauce and pickled ginger.
