Instructions

Sushi Rice

  • Rinse sushi rice well under water about 5 times until it’s almost clear and not murky
  • If using a rice cooker skip to step 3. If cooking rice using a pot over the stove, continue to step 2
  • Add rice to a pot with the water and place on the stove over medium to high heat
  • Once water is boiling, reduce the heat to low- medium and place the lid on to cook for 15 minutes
  • Then remove from the heat and leave the lid on and allow it to steam for 5 minutes
  • Transfer the cooked sushi rice to a bowl using a wooden paddle or spatula
  • To a small ramekin add sugar, rice wine vinegar and a pinch of salt. Pour over the rice and mix in gently using a wooden paddle or spatula
  • Line a tray or container with cling wrap and transfer the rice to the tray
  • Flatten the rice with the back of the spoon to level the top. Rice should be nice and compact
  • Place in the fridge to set for at least 3 hours
  • Once set, cut the rice with a sharp knife into even rectangles or squares
  • Pan fry the rice squares in your preferred oil for a few minutes on each side until they’re golden brown.
  • Allow to rest on a cooling rack once removed from the pan to keep crispy

Spicy Tuna

  • Slice the tuna into small cubes using a sharp knife and add to a bowl
  • Add the kewpie mayonnaise, sriracha, soy sauce and sesame oil and mix together so it’s nice and creamy
  • To assemble, add a spoon of the spicy tuna to a square of crispy rice, sprinkle some furikake and top with a slice of jalapeño
