Instructions
 

  • Rice | Scoop one cup of medium-grain rice into the pot of a rice cooker. Rinse with sink water until the water runs clear of starches. Discard the starchy water. Add enough filtered water until the rice is submerged and with 1/2 inch of water from the surface. Steam. Once the rice is warmed, add rice vinegar, sea salt, and sugar. Mix. Deposit into a container and flatten until 2 inches thick. Cover the surface directly with Saran Wrap to prevent drying out and seal with a lid. Refrigerate overnight.
  • Veggies | When the rice has chilled throughout prep the veggies. Halve the avocado, remove the core, then score both sides. Julienne jalapeño and scallions. Set aside.
  • Spicy Tuna | Add kewpie, sriacha, soy sauce, and sesame oil into a bowl. Mix until homogenous. Add tuna and scallions. Mix until evenly coated.
  • Crispy Rice | Carefully remove the chilled rice from the fridge, square the edges, and divide in half. Set a skillet over medium high heat. Add oil and let it come to full temperature. Add 1 slab of crispy rice and sear until golden brown. Flip to sear the other side and repeat with remaining crispy rice.
  • Assemble | Plate crispy rice. Scoop out one half of an avocado with a spoon and fan the flesh out on a piece of crispy rice. Add half the portion of spicy tuna, jalapeños, and scallions. Repeat. Eat immediately!
