Ingredients

  • 3 tbsp black sesame seeds

  • 2 cups cooked sushi rice
  • 1 avocado mashed

Spicy Mayo

Instructions
 

Rice Cakes

  • Prepare sushi rice and let cool. Form rice into ¼-⅓ cup size balls. Flatten balls into cakes.
  • Heat 1 tbsp. oil in a large skillet or griddle over medium heat. Add rice cakes, working in batches. Cook 2-3 minutes per side or until lightly browned. Set aside.

Spicy Mayo

  • Combine mayonnaise and sriracha sauce in a mixing bowl. Set aside. *Add additional sriracha sauce for more spice!

Ahi Tuna

  • Heat 1 tbsp. olive oil in large skillet/griddle/ or cast iron pan, over high heat.
  • Reduce heat to medium and add coated Ahi Tuna. Sear 2-3 minutes per side. Adding more oil if needed to prevent sticking.
  • Remove from heat, slice with the grain.

Put in all together

  • Spread thin layer mashed avocado on a rice cake, add sliced Ahi Tuna, and drizzle with Spicy Mayo. Serve immediately.
  • Enjoy!

Notes

For Spicy Mayo - I use these small squeeze bottles. Spoon sauce into bottle. Makes for a beautiful and fun presentation. Then you can easily label and store the sauce in the refrigerator.
