Just get yourself a pack of salmon nigiri or tuna nigiri, and you can make this crispy rice in under 30 minutes! 🍣 Sushi 1 pack Tuna Nigiri (about 8 pieces) 2 tbsp eel sauce (recipe below) 1/2 tbsp mayo 1/2 tbsp sriracha Drizzle of sesame oil Thinly sliced avocado Garnish of choice (I used sesame seeds and cilantro) Oil for frying 🍶Eel Sauce 1/4 cup tamari 1/4 cup mirin 2 tbsp sugar Make the eel sauce by adding the tamari, mirin, and sugar to a small pan. Bring to a simmer, and whisk until the sugars dissolve. Then let the sauce simmer until reduced by half. Set aside and let it cool. Remove the tuna from the rice, and roughly chop. Then transfer it to a bowl with the mayo, sriracha, sesame oil, and 2 tbsp of the cooled eel sauce. Mix until combined, then set aside in the fridge. The rice should already have a descent shape. But depending on their size and how they’re shaped, use your fingers/hands to form the rice into little rectangles or ovals. Then set aside in the fridge until you’re ready to fry. In a large skillet, heat 1/4 inch of oil over medium high heat. Once hot, carefully add the rice. Cook, untouched, for about 3-4 minutes per side or until golden brown and crispy. Then remove, set aside on a paper towel lined plate, and lightly season with salt. Top each crispy rice with a thin slice of avocado, a generous amount of spicy tuna, and a drizzle of the remaining eel sauce. Then garnish with whatever toppings you’d like (sesame seeds, cilantro, jalapenos, etc). #spicytuna #crispyrice #spicytunacrispyrice #grocerystorehacks #cookinghacks ## Stats - **Views:** 2,942 - **Likes:** 189 - **Shares:** 0 - **Comments:** 39 ## Tags spicytunacrispyrice, spicytuna, grocerystorehacks, cookinghacks, crispyrice --- Copyright (c) Gondola
