ASSEMBLY
Directions
Rinse sushi rice until water runs clear. Transfer to pot and add water. Let soak for 30 min. Bring mixture to a boil. Put lid on and simmer on low for 20 min, or until done. Remove from heat and let steam for 10 min. Transfer rice to a large glass bowl.
In a small saucepan, add rice vinegar, honey, and sea salt. Heat and stir until honey and salt have dissolved. Pour mixture onto rice and toss gently.
Press rice mixture into an 8 x 8 pan lined with parchment paper and chill for a few hours/overnight.
Heat 1/2 inch of avocado oil in a pan until hot. Cut chilled rice into 16 squares. Dust hands with corn starch and grab a square of rice. Gently form into a log, making sure rice stays compact. Place rice patty in oil and cook for 1-2 minutes on each side, or until golden brown. Line plate with paper towels to absorb grease.
In a bowl, add Albacore or Skipjack Wild Tuna. Mash with a fork. Add sriracha, mayo, and spices, and mix until combined.
Assemble by placing avocado slices on top of crispy rice. Form tuna salad into a log and place on top. Garnish with jalapeño, more sriracha, and sesame seeds.
