Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. In a mixing bowl, combine drained canned tuna, mayonnaise, sriracha, soy sauce, rice wine vinegar, and toasted sesame oil. Mix gently until well incorporated, cover and refrigerate for about 15 minutes.
  2. Heat a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat, adding about 2 tablespoons of avocado oil. Once shimmering, add chilled sushi rice in large clumps, pressing down firmly. Cook without stirring for 3-5 minutes.
  3. Carefully flip the rice using a spatula and crisp the other side for an additional 3-5 minutes.
  4. Remove the crispy rice from the skillet and place it in a bowl. Spoon the chilled spicy tuna mixture over the top.
  5. Slice mini cucumbers thinly and scatter them atop the spicy tuna, along with chopped scallions.
  6. Sprinkle sesame seeds over the dish, and add chili crisp or hot sauce if desired.
  7. Serve immediately and enjoy the mix of textures and flavors.
