    Ingredients

    Sushi Rice

    • 1 cup sushi rice
    • 1 1/4 cup water
    • 2 tbsp rice vinegar
    • 2 tsp honey or granulated sugar

    Spicy Tuna

    • 1 tbsp oil
    • 2 small tuna steaks

    Assembly

    • 1 avocado, mashed
    • spicy mayo
    • fried wontons or tortilla chips
    • Furikake Japanese Multi-Purpose Seasoning

    Instructions

    Sushi Rice

    • Add rice to a bowl and cover with water. Let sit for 1-2 minutes then strain to remove the starch from the rice. Keep rinsing until the water runs clear and is no longer cloudy.
    • Add rice and water to a small saucepan. Bring to a simmer, cover and cook for 16 minutes or until all of the water is absorbed and the rice is tender.
    • Immediately transfer the rice to a sheet tray.
      Sprinkle vinegar and sugar over the rice and toss to coat the rice in the seasoning.
      Allow the rice to cool before handling.

    Ahi Tuna

    • Meanwhile cook the tuna. Heat a large skillet over high heat with oil.
      When the pan is smoking add in the tuna steaks and cook for 2 minutes on each side or until each side has a nice golden brown crust on it.
      Transfer to a cutting board and allow it to rest for a few minutes then cut into bite size pieces.
    • Toss the cubed tuna in 3 tbsp spicy mayo.

    Assemble

    • Layer some sushi rice on a plate and form into a mound. You could also use a greased cup to help form a nice circle.
      Top the rice with the mashed avocado, then some of the spicy tuna.
      Sprinkle with sesame seeds and Furikake seasoning.
    • Serve immediately with fried wontons or chips! Enjoy!
