Method
 

Preparation Steps
  1. In a mixing bowl, combine drained canned tuna with mayonnaise, sriracha, soy sauce, rice wine vinegar, and toasted sesame oil. Stir until well blended and creamy. Chill for 15-30 minutes if not using immediately.
  2. Heat a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat, adding a couple of tablespoons of avocado oil. When shimmering, add chilled sushi rice in clumps, pressing down firmly. Cook undisturbed for 3-5 minutes until golden brown and crispy.
  3. Carefully flip the rice to crisp the other side, adding more avocado oil if needed. Cook for another 3-5 minutes until crispy.
  4. In serving bowls, add crispy rice as the base, then pile on the spicy tuna mixture.
  5. Garnish with sliced mini cucumbers, chopped scallions, and sesame seeds. Drizzle chili crisp and include nori strips on the side.
  6. Serve immediately while the rice is warm and crispy.
