How To Make Crispy Rice!

This first step is to prepare the crispy rice. Sushi rice is cooked until tender before adding seasonings like rice vinegar, sugar and salt. Next, the warm rice is pressed into a square pan that is lined with plastic wrap. This creates a mold to help the rice stick together as it chills. After chilling, the rice is sliced into two-bite rectangles and fried until crisp and golden brown on each side.

Learn About Our Tuna!

Tender ahi tuna is chopped up fine and combined with mayonnaise, sriracha, lime juice and sesame oil for a spicy topping with Asian notes. Here at Sizzlefish, our line-caught Pacific Yellowfin tuna (Ahi) represents a sustainable, healthy, and delicious choice. Our tuna is rated AAA and treated with filtered smoke to retain the peak freshness and vibrant color after it is caught. The superior quality of our Ahi tuna makes it perfect for use in hot or cold dishes from sushi to seared and served over rice. Each vacuum-sealed portion will weigh approximately 6-8oz. Tuna is rich in protein and is a great source of omega-3 fatty acids that help support a healthy heart.

How To Put It All Together!

When it’s time to assemble your crispy rice and spicy tuna stacks, place a few sliced of avocado on rice, a spoonful of spicy tuna, a drizzle of extra sriracha, a sprinkle of sesame seeds and fresh chopped green onion. Each bite is packed with flavor that will have taste buds dancing!

Directions

Cook sushi rice in a pot according to package directions, about 20 minutes.
Once rice is tender, remove from heat and stir in rice vinegar, sugar and salt. Fluff with a fork. Cool rice until warm.
Line an 8x8 baking pan with plastic wrap overlapping sides. Transfer rice to pan and use moist hands to press rice firmly to pan. Wrap rice tightly and refrigerate for 1 hour to chill.
While rice chills, chop tuna finely and add to a medium mixing bowl. Stir in mayonnaise, sriracha, soy sauce, lime juice and sesame oil. Cover and refrigerate.
Remove plastic wrap from rice on a cutting board and slice into rectangles about 1 1/2 inches by 3 inches.
Heat 1/3 cup of olive oil over medium heat in a large skillet for 3-4 minutes, until very hot. Using tongs, carefully add rice rectangles to oil and crisp for 3 minutes on each side until lightly browned. Place cooked rice on a wire rack lined baking sheet with paper towel underneath the store rack while frying remaining rice.
Top crispy rice with sliced avocado and 1-2 tablespoons of tuna mixture. Garnish with sriracha sauce, sesame seeds, sliced jalapeños and chopped green onion.
