Ingredients
  

  • 1 cup sushi rice uncooked
  • 1 5 oz can tuna, drained
  • 3 tbsp mayo
  • 1 tbsp sriracha
  • 1 tsp rice vinegar
  • ½ tsp sesame oil
  • 2 green onions chopped
  • 1 tbsp sesame seeds
  • Oil for searing

Instructions
 

  • Cook & Press Rice: Cook sushi rice per package instructions. Press into a greased square pan, chill 10 mins, then cut into cubes.
  • Crisp the Rice: Heat oil in a skillet. Sear rice cubes 2 mins per side until golden. (Air fryer option: Spray cubes and air fry at 400°F for 8 mins.)
  • Mix Tuna: In a bowl, combine tuna, mayo, sriracha, rice vinegar, and sesame oil.
  • Assemble: Top each rice cube with spicy tuna, green onions, and sesame seeds.

Notes

  • Substitutions: Use canned salmon or mashed chickpeas for a vegetarian twist.
  • Storage: Keep assembled bites (without toppings) in the fridge for up to 2 days. Reheat in an air fryer to retain crispiness.
  • Pro Tip: Chill the rice thoroughly before cutting to prevent crumbling!
