Crispy Spicy Tuna

Instructions

• Sushi Rice
• Add sesame oil and rice to a medium pot. Heat on MED-HIGH heat until rice appears slightly toasted.
• Add Rice Vinegar, Sugar and Kosher salt. Stir to blend.
• Add water. Allow the rice to come to a boil, reduce to a simmer and cover.
• Remove from heat once all the liquid has been absorbed.
• Allow rice to cool for 20 min and form into tightly packed pillows. Drizzle low sodium soy sauce over the pillows.
• The best way to crisp the rice pillows is to fry them in peanut oil. Heat a pot with about 2″ of peanut oil to 380-400ºF.
• Drop the pillows in to the hot oil and fry until golden brown.
• If you don’t want to fry, do this: In a medium frying pan, bring 1/4 cup of Sesame Oil to hot at MED-HIGH heat.
• Add the pillows to the oil and toast them to a dark brown crisp on both sides.
• *Drizzle the pillows with soy sauce before browning for extra flavor*
• Spicy Tuna
• Mince or finely chop the tuna steaks and put into a small to medium bowl.
• Add the rest of the ingredients and mix well into a paste.
• Taste and add extra sriracha to taste.
• Make The Sushi
• Allow the rice pillows to cool and spoon the spicy tuna paste onto the tops of each pillow.
• Sprinkle chives and white sesame seeds over the pillows.
